C. player. 64. Technically speaking, Andre Drummond is playing for the same team in 2014-15 as he did in 2013-14. Thus, “Change of scenery,” isn’t exactly the most applicable phrase for his current situation. <p>The change for Drummond, however, is significant enough to warrant a spot on this list: he has a new head coach.</p> <p>Stan Van Gundy is the head coach who helped elevate Dwight Howard’s game with the Orlando Magic. The result of that pairing was D-12 receiving four Defensive Player of the Year awards and the Magic making an NBA Finals appearance.</p> <p>If you ask Van Gundy, Drmumond has the potential to follow in D-12’s footsteps.</p> <blockquote class=.
