Have the Chicago Bulls found themselves a stretch big?
Not so fast, but newcomer Andre Drummond looks to have potentially added a 3-point shot to his offensive game.
In Sunday’s preseason victory over the Toronto Raptors, Drummond shot 3-of-3 from downtown and looked pretty good doing so. On Monday after practice, Drummond spoke on adding an outside shot to his game.
“It’s something that I spoke to the coaching staff in the summertime when I signed here, that it’s something that I’ve worked on, that I want to be able to stay on the floor, and I want to be able to add different facets to my game to be able to help this team win,” Drummond said. “And if I’m able to make that corner 3 when I’m wide open, it adds another element to our team.”
In his 10-year career, Drummond is just 15-of-114 (13.2%) from 3-point range in the regular season. So, should we expect him to all of a sudden become a marksman from downtown? Absolutely not, but can he knock down a few open looks? Why not?
“At the end of the day I’m here to play the offense the right way. But if that shot does present itself I more than likely will take the shot,” Drummond said. “It’s not gonna be something where I’m shooting contested 3s or taking wild shots. It’s gonna be in the flow of the offense, if I’m open I’m shooting it.”
