Andre Drummond or Trae Young? The NBA Stat Breakdown

This is as close as it gets. Andre Drummond and Trae Young split the statistical categories evenly — 4 apiece — making this one of the most genuinely contested C comparisons in NBA history. When the numbers are this balanced, the debate comes down to which statistics matter most to you.

Trae Young's Assists Per Game of 9.8 compared to Andre Drummond's 1.2 represents a 716.7% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Andre Drummond falls 33.3% below the career average of 1.8 in this category while Trae Young exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Trae Young's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Steals Per Game, where Andre Drummond posts 1.2 against Trae Young's 1.0 — a gap of just 20%. Trae Young can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 4-4 tally suggests. In any debate, Steals Per Game is the statistical ammunition for the Trae Young side.

Centers have evolved dramatically across NBA eras — from dominant low-post scorers to modern stretch bigs. Career statistics must be evaluated with positional evolution and era context in mind.

With categories split evenly, this comparison ultimately comes down to which statistics matter most to you. Trae Young claims the tiebreaker through Assists Per Game advantage — a 716.7% edge — but reasonable people can, and do, argue both sides of this NBA debate.
