Pistons' strength coach Arnie Kander has been working with Andre Drummond this summer.

"He's a thinker," Kander told Keith Langlois of DetroitPistons.com. "He might even be in the process of something that happened the play before, focusing on what he probably should have done. That's just part of the developmental process, emotional maturity. Any drill we give him here, when you give him a concept, he locks in.

"He's going to get a lot of different skill sets. Something happens in a game that's different than what he learned in practice, he's still learning to be able to stay with anything that comes at him that might work against what he's used to learning. He's learning to expand his reflexive field."

 "The things he does, you can't teach. But he's got to learn to expand the repertoire of the reflexes. A rebound means I've got to get quickly lateral and if something didn't happen, I'm not with that anymore; I'm with the next thing that's occurring. But 18 ... he's got so much potential."
