He could probably win the slam dunk contest, too, if they let him do both.
Dre' all day!!!
GoDuke reports today that Andre Dawkins will be in the 3-point competition Friday, April 3 in Dallas. http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.db...DB_OEM_ID=4200
Very excited to hear we will have a chance to see that beautiful stroke one more time this season. Go Dre!!

Good for him! Go DRE!!!
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
Happy to report, per goduke.com, that Tricia Liston will also be competing, in the women's 3-point contest. Let's go Tricia!
Any chance that he could also compete in the dunk contest? It's a shame that the rest of the college basketball world never got more than a glimpse at the jumping ability of Andre Dawkins. Kid's got springs. Georgia Tech knows.
In spite of the undesirable ending to a career that began with a bang, Andre is one of my top three all-time favorites in Duke history. He was sensational this year and throughout his career. I will miss the kid greatly. Best of luck to him.
Just bumping the thread up to remind people that they can see Andre Dawkins and Tricia Liston in the 3-point shooting competition at the Final Four, scheduled to be on ESPN at 9 PM tonight (after the NIT final), along with the dunk competition.
Let's go Dre!

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
Not a good opening round for Dre. Only scored 14... might not advance. He got hot at the end, but may be too little, too late.
And Dre is officially eliminated. Didn't make it out of the first round. Been that kind of year for Duke.
Go Tricia!!!! My son absolutely adores her!!!
Guess he's still cold.
I know others here disagree with this, but Andre has always been a streaky shooter, which doesn't really lend well to a competition like this. His percentage always remained high because when Andre was on, he didn't miss for games. Not minutes, but games. When he was off, however, he might as well not have even boarded the bus.
Hell of a career, though. In my humble opinion, the best three-point shooter in Duke history not named J.J. Redick. And with as god-like as J.J. was, that might as well mean the best.
Tricia just made it to the final against Shoni Shimmel. She's shooting well!
