First half review – Josh Drummond
“We definitely missed him in the first few weeks. He can play tall, on the smaller guys, deep or high.
“For the most part he’s defended really well one-on-one and that’s where he builds his game off.”
Second half review – Josh Drummond
“The surgery on his hips over the off-season meant he started behind the eight-ball in terms of his preparation.
“His year was a bit stop-start but he was still able to have an impact even though he was a little off his best.
“He played an important role for us late and into the finals. He’ll really benefit from getting through the year unscathed and having a clear run at it now.”
