Cohen 8-Ball: Ranking Top 8 Players at Summer League
#1 Andre Drummond
Josh Cohen’s Analysis: To nobody’s surprise, Drummond was a beast at Summer League this week. Despite being the youngest player at the competition, he was the most physically daunting and most likely to have a significant impact for his team next season.
It remains a tad cloudy and indeterminate how he, Greg Monroe and Josh Smith will coexist, but it is very possible that Drummond’s physical prowess could help propel the Pistons into the playoffs.
Down the road if Detroit can find a method to bolster its backcourt and become more balanced, the development of Drummond can make Monroe expendable in any potential trade.
