Andre Drummond Still Just a Big Kid from Middletown

Here's a nice piece on Andre Drummond from his hometown paper which reminds you that, even though he's on the precipice of fortune and fame, Drummond really still is just a big kid from Middletown.

It's easy to forget that Drummond is still just 18. He was one of the youngest players in the Big East this past winter and may be the youngest player to be drafted tomorrow night at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. It's enough to make you realize he certainly could have used at least one more year at UConn, to mature as both a person and a player.

But then, it's doubtful Drummond's draft stock would have gotten a whole lot higher than it is right now. So in that sense, he made the right decision.

Oh, and in case you missed it, here's the story I wrote on Omar Calhoun's arrival at UConn that ran yesterday.
