You could argue Andre Drummond has been the Bulls' best big man this season.
Now, that's not super flattering for starter Nikola Vučević, but it says more about Drummond, whose per-minute production seems like it was plucked from the video-game realm. Since joining the team in 2022, Drummond's per-36-minutes averages include 18.9 rebounds, 17.4 points and 3.2 combined steals and blocks, per Basketball-Reference.
Teams shouldn't take those numbers at face value, since there are reasons—namely, limitations away from the basket at both ends—Drummond averages fewer than 18 minutes per night. Teams shouldn't outright dismiss them, either, as they highlight how incredibly active he is once he steps inside the lines. His presence has made a positive impact, too, as his plus-4.0 net differential is the Bulls' best mark among their 10 players to log 700-plus minutes, per NBA.com.
