Is it official with Drummond yet?  If not, this just happened:

If the Knicks are out on Drummond, I assume they pursue Dieng.

Per Woj, Lakers are frontrunners to obtain Drummond.

The way Kornet and Wagner look so far, they can keep Drummond.

So the corpse of Marc Gasol wasn't the saviour of LAL's big man depth? Lol

Done- Drummond to LA once he clears waivers.

Schroder/KCP/LeBron/Davis/Drummond...what a terrifying lineup to go up against.

Wonder how many games it takes before LA realizes their defense is awful with Drummond and they bench him in favor of Gasol.

I don't think he made a 3 pointer in the playoffs all last year.

I know he has big rebound numbers but is Drummond that good?  Haven't really paid close attention to him over the years.

I know he has big rebound numbers but is Drummond that good?  Haven't really paid close attention to him over the years.

From the Athletic:
Drummond is one of the most intriguing cases to hit the buyout market in some time. He averaged 17.5 points and 13.5 rebounds in just 28.9 minutes per game with Cleveland this year, right in line with his career numbers.

But while he has an impressive total output, his inefficiency is as bad as it gets at the position. Of the 20 players with at least 100 post-ups this year, Drummond ranks only ahead of Russell Westbrook in efficiency at 0.816 points per possession (PPP), per Synergy. For context, LeBron James and Anthony Davis rank fifth and sixth, respectively. Drummond ranks 29th out of 32 players with at least 50 put-back attempts in PPP and 54th out of 59th in PPP on plays off of cuts.

Overall, he’s shooting a career-worst 48.4 percent on 2-pointers. Add in his 59.7 percent free-throw shooting — the second-best percentage of his career, interestingly — and his 50.0 true shooting percentage is far below league average (57.1 percent). That’s alarming for a center whose average shot distance is 3.7 feet, per Basketball Reference.

It’s not hard to figure out why his numbers are low when you watch him. He often takes out-of-control floaters and hooks out of the post and goes isolation even from the perimeter. He loves using spins and drop steps on the block to get to a reverse and his favorite move this year has been a step through from the perimeter to an extended finish. The problem is they seem to rarely go in. Quite simply, few players in the NBA take as many bad shots as he does.

Drummond has not been an impact defender in some time, as he has been fairly uninterested and slow-footed as a pick-and-roll defender this year. His defensive metrics are often better than the eye test suggests and playing in the Lakers’ defensive system could make his life much easier.

While he grabs more rebounds than just about anyone in the league, he doesn’t fight for position well on either end and gets by somewhat on his size, strength and bounce. What often hurts his shooting efficiency is when he attacks the offensive glass, he puts up multiple misses that pad his rebounding numbers, but still result in an empty possession.

So why would the Lakers sign him, and why would the Celtics, Clippers, Knicks and other playoff teams show interest after his recent buyout?

When used in a more limited role, Drummond’s talent and physicality can still be impactful. He is still a 7-footer with agility and power who can dominate above the rim, which is an element the Lakers have lacked this season. He has grown his playmaking skills off the bounce over the years and that could be a powerful source of playmaking if used in moderation, much like the Lakers currently employ Gasol.

It's terrifying for Lakers fans, given Drummond's routine inability to coexist with other bigs (Blake, Monroe)
