Deeper look into Andre the person. Good stuff.

The Huskies were fresh off a national championship, and it was the final season of Hall-of-Fame coach Jim Calhoun's career. But Drummond's free-throw struggles reared its ugly head. He missed 26 of his 88 attempts.

That's 70%. I thought that number was suspect so I looked it up. Actually he made 26 of 88 (30%) - http://www.uconnhuskies.com/sports/m-baskbl/stats/2011-2012/teamcume.html. That makes more sense.

I mentioned it to the author...he told me it looked good to him. It reads correctly now...not sure what happened.

Other than that...what do you all think?

Your typical superstar makes his free throws.

loved reading this. SI did a similarly in-depth piece a couple months ago that focused more on his high school years in middletown, i think.

andre is a great representative of connecticut basketball!

Like Wilt and Shaq.

He fixed it. I'm sure that's what he meant to say.

No. I mentioned to him while I was going to the page. No way he could beat me to it. I had to tell him nevermind. Maybe an editor caught it or something.

Like Wilt and Shaq.

Wilt shot 51% from the line for his career and Shaq shot 53%. Andre is shooting 35% from the line this year. Thats a pretty big difference. Gotta think he can get up into the 50's with some work on it.

He should try underhanded, like Wilt.
