Andre Drummond beats Pacers with first career game-winner

Andre Drummond made two huge plays in the waning seconds of Friday night's game against the Indiana Pacers. First, deadlocked at 96-96 with 24 seconds remaining, Drummond coaxed Pacers All-Star big man Roy Hibbert into an offensive foul. Then, on the ensuing possession, Drummond followed a Brandon Jennings' miss for his 16 point on his 16 rebound, giving the Pistons 10 wins in their last 12 games.

I have not been shy in proclaiming Drummond to be a future Hall of Famer, barring injury. His athleticism is so freakish, he could completely redefine the center position in the NBA, similarly to how LeBron James redefined the small forward. In just his third season, at a mere 21 years old, Drummond is averaging roughly 12 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. To average these numbers, with a game so raw he barely has a viable post move or sense of defensive positioning, is a scary thought for Eastern Conference opponents.

Though impossible to imagine at this point in time, Drummond's athleticism will eventually fade. His ultimate reputation will be decided by technique, development and execution. SI.com's Rob Mahoney puts it best: "He will always appear capable of more, because in some sense he's capable of almost anything."

Ladies and gentlemen, you have been warned. Watch out for Andre Drummond.
