Wizards center on Andre Drummond: 'You can't miss his numbers'
The Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons are set to square off on Saturday night, and that means Marcin Gortat has had this date circled on his calendar for quite some time.
Lining up for the opposition is Andre Drummond, arguably the best center in the Eastern Conference. And Gortat knows battling him for rebounds won't be a walk in the park.
Here's what he told The Washington Post:
Gortat's total rebound rate is a career-low this season, according to Basketball-Reference. That's not a great sign when Drummond's crashing through the paint and devouring everything in sight. Gortat needs to have his best game of the season or Washington will have a very difficult time controlling tempo.
