Andre Drummond is one of the most dominant players in the NBA. He is known for his insane rebounding ability and was the rebounding leader in 2016 and 2018. However, he is one of the worst, if not the worst shooter, be it from beyond the arc or from the free throw line.

Drummond shoots 15.8 percent from downtown and 42.4 percent from the free throw line. It is only understandable that he finds his name on this unpopular list.
