Detroit Pistons Have A New Face Under That Snapback

Andre Drummond,

We at Sunken Booty by no means consider ourselves professional scouts or talent experts, but given the experience we have we are not rooks either. 3 summers ago we sat in a AAU tournament at Wide World of Sports in Disney World, Orlando Florida and marveled at how this young 15 year old could do the things on a basketball court that he did. College scouts and coaches lined completely around the court taking notes and discussing among themselves how he would be perfect for their basketball program.

Now jump 3 years later and this young man has become a athletic phenomenon. He can run the floor with best big men, has a leaping ability to jump out of the gym, great lateral quickness gives him the ability to be a great defender, can drive to the rim, or good mid range game.

At 18 he is still several years from maturing physically but around is 7′ 0″. 279 ponds. A wingspan of 7’6″ means he is going to own the paint. The Detroit Pistons SnapBack looks great on him and he has the opportunity to be one of the elite centers in the NBA. Don’t sell this kid short hopefully within this huge body the HEART of a Champion beats within. He has a hug upswing and his destiny lyes in how bad he wants it. The ability is there Detroit has a great shot of getting back to their winning championship ways with him in the paint.

Andre, there is going to mountains and valleys but keep your eye on what is important to you and your family. Have fun doing something you love and remember the game is important but setting goals and striving to improve each day will be important. Take time to what we call smell the roses is important because time will fly by and you will turn around and wonder what happened to TIME.
