Cavaliers’ Andre Drummond Has ‘No Impact on the Game’ per NBA Scout

The Cleveland Cavaliers recently announced that they have no plans to play their center Andre Drummond this season. In fact, they are looking to trade two-time NBA All-Star prior to the trade deadline. But are they treating him fairly? Well, that is one of the hottest topics in the league right now.

Warriors’ star Draymond Green called out the NBA for double standards. They expect the players to behave with utmost professionalism, but the franchises can do whatever they please. While the future of Drummond is uncertain, things are not looking pretty for the 27-year-old.

Is Andre Drummond an inefficient player?

After the Cavaliers saga, an NBA scout suggested that Drummond is an inefficient player. Raptors reporter Doug Smith tweeted about the scout’s quote, and the tweet said:

“He can get you 30-20 and have no impact on the game.”

With Drummond becoming the topic for everyone, this kind of comment could hinder his trade value. The center has always been a phenomenal rebounder and has developed his offensive game as well.

Unfortunately, he has never led a team to a deep playoff run. Prior to joining the Cavaliers, he spent eight seasons with the Detroit Pistons. In the motor city, Drummond improved his game but again couldn’t lead the team to a respectable playoff run.

With the rumors suggesting him being traded in the coming weeks, one might wonder- where the center will join?

Can any team benefit from adding Drummond to their team?

While he might not be a great shooter, Drummond can still get the job done. He is one of the top centers in the league and is a double-double machine. Teams like the Celtics and the Raptors could use his output in their efforts to win an NBA title.
