Andre Drummond is unfortunately sidelined with a back injury, but until he got hurt he was impressing most people around the league.

Drummond leads all rookies in player efficiency rating at 22.37, and no one can really figure out as to why Lawrence Frank has been reluctant to giving his rookie more minutes.

Despite the fact that Drummond averages less than 20 minutes per game this season, he is a very close second among rookies in rebounding. Barring any other injuries, the 6′ 10″ center has a bright future ahead of him.

Statistics this season: 7.3 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 59.2 FG%, 19.7 mpg

(Originally picked 5th overall: Thomas Robinson, Sacramento Kings)
