Andre Drummond had a career day in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform!

With Rudy Gobert not playing in this game, it was a foregone conclusion that Andre Drummond was going to destroy an undersized Ersan Ilyasova and a center that no one has ever heard of. What does Lake Show Life say to this?

Who cares? Those guys collect checks too!

Blame the Jazz for their decisions because this site analyzes everybody the same. Andre put on a Broadway show in Brooklyn, but what he did to Utah was special. Andre Drummond at times stomped the Utah Jazz frontline and ran by them in others!

Drummond’s performance was even more impressive especially after let his frustrations known about his offensive struggles after the Charlotte game. Lake Show Life went in-depth on the reasons why this past week.

Frank Vogel pointed out in his in-game interview that Drummond’s activity on the defensive end helped charge his offensive numbers! The Big Penguin (For now! Look for a new nickname soon!) finished with a Laker high 27 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and a block.

Remember those rumored free throw struggles? He hit seven of eight from the charity stripe!

The 3 assists show the adjustments being done not only by Drummond but the coaching staff. His passing out of the post set up open 3 point shots, and the attention allows an extra second for the shooters. That was an underrated factor in the game.

To close this lesson up, just watch this pick and roll play with Kyle Kuzma and Andre Drummond.
