Knicks add Andre Drummond

Andre Drummond said he fielded interest from multiple teams but chose New York after talking it over with his agent, calling it a childhood dream given his roots near the city. He's expected to take on a significant role replacing Mitchell Robinson, who left for Boston in free agency.

Bruce Brown is Drummond's only new teammate he's previously played with. Drummond averaged 8.4 rebounds in under 20 minutes a night across 63 games with Philadelphia last season.
