Andre Drummond is the New Moses Malone.

Their age 22 season comparisons are uncanny:

Moses:

Moses clearly take free throws and points (free throws probably have something to do with that). But drummond literally takes every other stat. Forget Drummond being better than Dwight, Drummond could be the next "fo' fo' fo'" center.

After 22, Moses took off. Can Drummond do the same?

36% free throw percentage. That is TERRIBLE!! If the Pistons ever get good and games really matter...it is going to suck to have their best player on the bench at the end of close games.

At least Shaq was near 50% or above. Just another 10% and he'll be fine.

His offensive game is coming around this season. Really impressive and it will just get better. You can tell he is putting the work in.

The free throws are such a glaring issue. 36% is .72 points per shot (since he's obviously not getting fouled shooting 3s), which is just abyssmal. Even if his offensive game does grow in a big way, it will always be limited by the fact that teams can foul him out of better shots. You can bet any team playing us 7 games in a row (playoffs) will have a big man fouling out every game just to throw Drummond off.

I can't understand how some of these guys are so bad from the line. Honestly, they practice that shot so many times and still can't manage to hit even half of them? Unbelievable.

Psychological, his form is good, he's making them in practice (everybody says), but game situations are tripping him up. I think he improves as the year goes on, but that's just my wishful thinking.
