Andre Drummond is in Charles Barkley Territory
By Jason McIntyre
Andre Drummond had a 25-point, 29-rebound game against Indiana in a Detroit Pistons loss Tuesday night. Drummond, who still doesn’t possess many offensive moves, shot 12-of-17 from the field.
He turned 22 years old in August.
Drummond is still extremely raw, which is somewhat scary considering he’s averaging 20.3 ppg and 19.5 rebounds per game to start the season. There are still 78 games left and he obviously won’t continue that pace (just as Stephen Curry won’t continue this pace).
Know how many players have posted 70 points and 70 rebounds in the first four games of the season in the last 30 years?
Two.
