Andre Drummond joined the Lakers in March when the team was struggling to score after LeBron James and Anthony Davis were injured. Leaving behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, he emerged as good support to the team who made it to the playoffs at least. But looking at the numbers he averaged 28.9 minutes per game in Cleveland which is comparatively more than 24.8 minutes in 21 games with the Lakers which gave way to 11.9 points and 10.2 rebounds on average with Lakers making up for his lowest score since his rookie years.
Drummond is set to be a free agent soon enough but it seems like he would return in the purple and gold jersey next season as the Lakers seem determined to keep him in the squad.
