Andre Drummond's boost in playing time has come with an attendant boost in attention from opponents who are trying to cope with him physically, none moreso than the Indiana Pacers, one of the few front lines big enough to match up with Drummond and the Pistons' interior.
As the playing time mounts, there will be interest in how the 20-year-old handles it after former coach Lawrence Frank handled him gingerly much of last year.
"I'm very well conditioned, you know, so just playing those amount of minutes, each and every night, it's fun for me," Drummond said.
