Andre Drummond has impressed his new Connecticut teammates, as well as alumni.

"He's very athletic," Alex Oriaki said. "The way he can move, the sky's the limit for that kid."

"He's a monster," said Kemba Walker. "He doesn't even know what he has yet."

Drummond has been staying late after the pickup games, working on new shooting mechanics at the free-throw line.

Walker was one of the first to congratulate Drummond when news broke of his decision to attend Connecticut.

"I was very surprised," Walker said, "I didn't realize [he was considering it], but I think he made the right decision. I wouldn't want to see anyone pass up on the chance to go to college, especially a school like UConn."
