If someone traveled to 2026 from a decade ago through some method of time travel, you could explain the modern NBA to them in one way:

Andre Drummond makes 3-pointers now.

Yep, the supreme rebounder and interior athlete is still around. And he's making important shots from beyond the arc for the Philadelphia 76ers.

This stat from Wednesday night is one of the most unbelievable ones all season, particularly if you haven't really watched the 76ers play:

All told, Drummond entered Wednesday night's play-in action having made 32 3-pointers this season.

He entered the year with 18 total 3-pointers across his first 13 NBA seasons.

He made three last year for the Sixers, on 20 attempts, for just 15%.

This season, he's at just better than 35% from deep.

Drummond's seasons prior to 2025-26 included this many 3s: 1-0-0-2-2-0-5-5-1-4-0-0-0-0-3.

He never shot better than 1-for-2 as a rookie, or 2-for-6 in 2015-16 for the Pistons.

It's clearly never been his role.

But in the modern NBA, it helps to space the floor, even if you're Andre Drummond. And surprisingly to many, he figured out how to do it.
