Frank Vogel says Los Angeles Lakers 'got a lot better' with addition of Andre Drummond

Andre Drummond cleared waivers and he has signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, the team announced on Sunday.

Coach Frank Vogel said the Lakers are "thrilled" to add a player of Drummond's caliber.

"He's one of the best centers in the league, someone that every defensive coordinator is going to have to account for and to figure out how to handle him when they're trying to slow down [Anthony Davis] and [LeBron James] and our guards," Vogel said. "I think he's going to give us a big lift in the immediate future, and then obviously when we get going.
