Despite entering just his second NBA season, Andre Drummond is taking a leadership role in making sure the Detroit Pistons' three draft picks arrive early to Auburn Hills for workouts.

“Last year, I was here real early,” Drummond said. “I’m like, ‘You guys need to get here early. Just because you made it to the league, don’t think you can come back when all the veterans come back.’ ”

The Pistons drafted Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Peyton Siva and Tony Mitchell in June.
