Drummond aggregated his Twitter announcement to Instagram, citing his business contacts and quote "It's never too late to ask for help." His Instagram post received over 22,000 likes, as of this writing. 

Drummond signed a two-year deal with the Bulls before the start of the season. He has been a significant help to the Bulls' reinforcements off the bench this season. Drummond is averaging 6.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game in 62 appearances on the floor. 

His gigantic figure (6-foot-10, 280 pounds) is a vital help in the interior. He is constantly around the ball, especially in proximity to the glass. Drummond has fantastic finishing ability and superior hustle, adding a unique wrinkle to the team's second unit. 

He has reached double figures in points three times in the last four games. Combining those efforts, he shot 15-of-20 from the field.
