Sixers center Andre Drummond is excited to be back and knows exactly why he’s here: ‘I want to win’

The Sixers struggled to rebound in the minutes when Joel Embiid needed a break, especially in the playoffs. “I think that’s why I’m here. To eliminate a lot of those issues," Drummond said.

Andre is 30 yrs old. If he plays until he's 37 with seasons exactly like last year's 17 minutes per game, rebounding at the same rate, he'll be the 4th leading rebounder of all time ahead of Moses Malone, Elvin Hayes, Karl Malone and Tim Duncan.

“They know what to expect from me,” Drummond said. “You’re getting a dog Husky. You’re getting exactly what you’re looking for. I don’t back down from anybody and I’m here to put a fire under some people’s [butts]. ”

Fixed it for him.

I get in arguments/discussions with my friends all the time, he is possibly the greatest rebounder of all time. They don’t have the statistics from way back in the day, but from the 80’s on he has the highest rebound percentage by a wide margin over Rodman. He averaged 9 rpg in 17 minutes this year. Insane numbers.

Kinda wish he went to a team he can start for as there’s a few who could use him. Pelicans had a huge need at Center after losing Val.

He should be great in his role with the Sixers though. Been loving mature Andre.

I still can’t believe he’s only 30.

Didn't want to start a new thread for this but I like seeing that Andre is preparing himself for a career outside of basketball.

Some of the best days of Andre Drummond’s life were when he was starring at the University of Connecticut. The two-time NBA All-Star is now on a mission with his new business venture to not only give back to the same New England region that molded him, but also help his fellow Big East Conference brethren create generational wealth.

Drummond, who recently signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, has joined with former NBA players Moe Harkless and Michael Carter-Williams to create Special Teams Real Estate, a commercial development firm. Harkless, a New York native and former star at St. John’s, and Carter-Williams, a Massachusetts native and former All-American at Syracuse, have come together with Drummond as founders of the new company.
