The Bulls hope Andre Drummond can buoy bench units as a backup center behind Nikola Vuevi.
Drummond, 28. is no longer the All-Star stat-sheet stuffer he once was. But he’s a more viable option to understudy Vučević than any of the above names. For evidence, look at the capable job he did backing up Joel Embiid in Philadelphia at the beginning of last season and the productive stint he had in Brooklyn — averaging 11.8 points and 10.3 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per game — after being traded there as part of the James Harden deal.Drummond remains an elite rebounder.
Drummond is also an underrated passer, a skill set he flashed during his time with the 76ers, when he logged a 15.7 percent assist rate in 49 games, per Cleaning the Glass. The Bulls should be able to runsecond unit offense through him, which they couldn’t say about any of last season’s reserve bigs.
