His 3 always looked better than his free throw. I recall people joking during the hack-a-Drummond period that he should start shooting freethrows from behind the arc

for anyone curious, i this is not legal because to prevent players from getting a running start you have to start inside the key

True but you can’t shoot from behind the free throw line and in front of the three. I think it was Dwight who started shooting his free throws a step or 2 behind the free throw line and his percentage went up a little bit

Was he not suffering through it through majority of his career ? I might be completely wrong but I think u r right

His back problems are not uncorrelated to his mental issues and the mental stress.

Contract year?

TW_Yellow78 | Minneapolis Lakers

4 | 12 hours ago

Every year’s been his contract year for awhile now. He’s been a min contract player since his max contract ran out. Still in the league because of his size and still mobile enough to get rebounds. But the game changed and he’s not an especially efficient scorer or whatever.

I mean yeah, he’s shooting 40% from 3s and hit 18 so far this season in 25 games. Is he actually stretching the floor? Is this actually more valuable than his post moves where he’s usually good for 55-60% true shooting and grabbing a few offensive boards off his own misses?

Probably TBH if he can keep it up. Over half a 3 a game isn’t gonna bump him past min contract status though. Free throws are still bad, still a poor defender, about a turnover a game. This new weapon just keeps him in the league a bit longer.

Is he actually stretching the floor?

I don’t think it’s healthy to see things in binary.

There is a spectrum.

I personally have 3 categories. Pure stretch 5 | Semi-stretch | Non-stretch.

So you know what a Pure stretch 5 is. You know what a non-stretch is.

What is a semi-stretch?

A non-stretch 5. You leave wide open at the arc. Do no respect him. He aren’t hitting shit, no matter how perfect the conditions are.
A stretch 5. You need to close out. He is scary, on multiple spots on the court.
A semi-stretch is scary in certain conditions.

So what are these conditions? The biggest, is him hitting a 3. Then next time down, he’s standing in the exact same spot.

If you let him stand in the same spot and shoot, he is going to kill you over and over again.

Case in point: rookie Zion Williams was a semi-stretch (he has since lost his 3pt shot).

Rookie Zion, you let him stand and shoot in the same spot, he will kill you.

Andre Drummond is not a stretch 5. But as a defender, if he hits one, you need to bump him off his spot. Otherwise he’s gonna kill you.

Which means, in certain conditions, the center is going to have to leave the paint. You can think of it as “temporary stretch 5”.

I have a feeling he has to keep up at the very least until All-Stat break and more realistically for the rest of the season in order for him to actually space the floor.

He’s averaging 0.6 3PM a game so teams just gonna leave him open for now

Andre “Al ‘Brook Lopez’ Horford” Drummond

Several examples of players like this who have adopted to new era basketball, guys you’d never expect would

And yet people on here argue that someone like MJ wouldn’t be as good in today’s game because he didn’t shoot 3s lol

If guys like Horford, Drummond, Lopez etc can adopt, people really questioning if the GOAT (and a guard at that) wouldn’t be able to?

Even Derrick Rose was talking about how he shots over 40% from 3 for a couple years late in his career to change his game since people said all he could do was dunk, and post injury he had to change his game and showed he could

Long rant but just wanted to add this works the other way too for people who don’t think guys today like SGA could be as good back then

Great players always adopt

Giannis A? No that’s too obvious. Let’s say G Antetokounmpo

Andre Drummond is quietly shooting 42% from three this season and has made 15 threes. His 13 year career total entering this season was 18
