SEASON SUMMARY

After a slow start marked by frequent early foul trouble, Drummond got better and better as his first season under coach Stan Van Gundy unfolded. In the 28 games after the All-Star break – which coincided with the trade acquisition of Reggie Jackson – Drummond averaged 16.1 points, 14.7 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots a game after averaging 12.6, 12.8 and 1.8 before then.

DRUMMOND BY NUMBERS

437: That's how many offensive rebounds Drummond collected in his third NBA season, three fewer than the 440 he grabbed in his second season. That gives Drummond two of the four seasons in NBA history when a player 22 or younger racked up at least 400 offensive rebounds in a season. The two others: Hakeem Olajuwon had 440 in 1984-85 and Moses Malone had 437 in 1996-97. Nice company.

5.33: Offensive rebounds Drummond averaged per game, most in the NBA by a wide margin. Only two other players – DeAndre Jordan (4.79) and Tyson Chandler (4.0) – averaged as many as four offensive boards per game.
