Andre Drummond Tries To Stay Grounded As Attention Increases
Posted Jul 31, 2010
Andre Drummond is a local kid and a national figure, dribbling a ball on the line between an impressionable teenager and a budding star with the world in the palm of his bear claw hands. He's 16 and a basketball phenomenon. He is yet to enter his junior year of high school and has been projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA draft. His life, a look from afar would suggest, is one of pressure and glorification, but there are telling moments when it's clear his makeup is that of an ordinary kid — even if he's living an extraordinary life.
