Drummond is 6-10 and weighs 280 pounds, yet his 51.9 field goal percentage in the restricted area still has him below literally every player currently on the Lakers roster that has attempted more than one shot there this season. That poor touch near the basket unsurprisingly manifests in inefficient post-ups. He scores only 0.816 points per post-up, ranking him in the 31st percentile league-wide, and aside from an outlier stretch when he first arrived in Cleveland, has never produced even league-average efficiency from the post.
Needless to say, LeBron is an upgrade over Jennings and Jackson. Ideally, he’ll serve as a lob threat to keep defenses honest against a driving James. That’s great in theory, but Drummond has caught only two lobs out of pick-and-roll all season. To some extent, that falls on his small guards, but Drummond has plenty to answer for as well. Has he lost some hops? Was he playing possum like former teammate Blake Griffin seemingly was in Detroit? Dunks like this suggest he’s still got plenty of verticality:
