Pistons big man Andre Drummond has spent the majority of the FIBA World Cup watching from the bench. The 21-year-old has averaged a team-low 5.9 minutes per game during USA’s undefeated odyssey to tomorrow’s gold medal game against Serbia. That’s what makes his trick shot after practice yesterday such a good illustration of the talent on Team USA.
It’s not like the 7-foot Drummond is a threat from long-range — he’s 1-of-4 from the beyond the three-point arc in his career — but this looks way too easy.
While Stephen Curry and Kenneth Faried had a shootout from the bench earlier this week, Drummond calmly sinks this mid-court shot while sitting down:
He’s not even that surprised it fell true, which just another indication these guys are on a whole other basketball level compared to the rest of us.
