Detroit Pistons big man Andre Drummond is a top-notch rebounder as he continues to become a more polished low post scorer. One of the main knocks against him is that he is still a poor free-throw shooter. Someone in his family might be trying to do all they can to help him improve.
One time after he airballed two free-throws, his mom had enough. Drummond and his mom went into the gym and she attempted to show him how to properly make a free-throw, despite the bad attempt she had in the video herself. While she did try to help, she did something that all mom’s are supposed to do and that’s making their kid’s feel better, especially after a horrible moment like that. Like a good mom, she was most likely helping Drummond relieve any stress associated with free-throwing shooting. She was trying to make him smile, have a good time and laugh and as we all know, laughter is the best medicine.
The only issue is this incident in the video happened during his rookie season. Recently Drummond had another issue where he airballed a free throw, again, just last month.
In his second season, his free-throw percentage increased from 37% to 41% but he’s dropped this season. His free-throw percentage is at 39%, so maybe Andre’s mom needs to come back and give him another lesson. I mean he did just airball a free throw again so she might be pulling him by his ear to the gym.
