Even though Andre can’t make a free throw to save his life—he’s one of my three favorite players on this year’s Thunder team. Maybe one of my Thunder favorites of all-time because of the way he plays defense and runs the court in transition. He just personifies team to a letter. I love him. He’d be a great young man for someone’s daughter to marry. That play in Detroit when he went down with the ruptured patella has I’m sure been the challenge of Andre’s basketball life. I’m just so impressed with him as a young man.
I’m sure this is going to take awhile for him to get his lateral wheels back. Basketball is like hockey in that defensively you square the body and have to sustain contact moving any direction.
This was my favorite preseason interview of Thunder players this season. No questions about his free throw shooting. Does that tell you how much the local guys rightfully respect Andre Roberson?
My three favorite players this season are Steven Adams, Andre Roberson, and Paul George.
Welcome back, Andre Roberson.
