A look at the season's breakout Ballers after the preseason games

4. Andre Drummond; Detroit Pistons

Four Games: 14.5 points, 9 rebounds, 57.5 percent shooting

Andre Drummond may be making the leap even sooner than imagined for the Detroit Pistons.

The preseason, so far, has shown that Drummond can still put up sizable numbers with limited minutes. The acquisition of Josh Smith will mean Drummond’s PF minutes will reduce, but the numbers listed above were achieved in just 24 MPG.

Excluding his recent dud, 1-of-7 for five points, Drummond was shooting 66.7 percent from the field. He has also done a decent job getting to the line, where he is 66.7 percent, a major improvement over last year.

If Drummond improves his free-throw shooting, there is a good chance for him to have a breakout season, even if he is the third big in Detroit.
