What's trending this week in the NBA:
Drummond's ascent
The 2015-16 season has just begun but Detroit center Andre Drummond is a big reason why the Pistons, who haven't made the playoffs since 2009, won four of their first five games. Drummond has been tremendous, averaging 18.6 points and 19.0 rebounds.
Should Pistons fans worry the team didn't sign Drummond to a long-term extension before the Nov. 2 deadline? Answer: no. Drummond will still be a restricted free next summer, giving the Pistons the right of first refusal.
