In order to connect an Android device to Android Studio for debugging purposes, you first have to enabled USB Debugging from the Settings->Developer Options menu. By default this menu is hidden. To unlock it, you have to go into Settings->About and tap Build for 7 times.

Google USB drivers are not mandatory but you should install the drivers of your specific device provided by the manufacturer. A list of useful links for drivers can be consulted here.

Further documentation on how to use a physical device with Android Studio can be found this Android Developer page.
