Hey, what’s that behind you? It’s Andre Drummond and you’re dead.

The dude above is Andre Drummond, a very young NBA player — 19 years old — for the Detroit Pistons. He's 6'10" and 270 pounds and, most distressingly for opponents, is made out of hot fire. He just got done playing for the Pistons' team in the NBA's Summer League, a kind of offseason minor league in which young players and journeymen can get playing experience and/or try to impress scouts and coaches. Even in this pool of players, Drummond stands out as a youngster; all 12 other guys on the Pistons' summer roster were older than him, for example. But it was the opposing players who looked physically underdeveloped by comparison to Drummond. To wit:
BLAM
This unfortunate driving guard probably KNOWS that Andre Drummond is huge and explosive, but still can't quite account for it and, thus, is exterminated.
BLAM!!!
Boxing Andre Drummond out is something you should do in theory to prevent him from getting easy putback dunks. In practice, you have been thunder-dunked on and exterminated.
