Ann Arbor — For most fans, it started as just a passing fancy, with Andre Drummond taking some casual 3-pointers during halftime, passing the time before the third quarter began.

It was striking to see the 6-foot-10 center toy around with long jump shots, given the other holes in his game. After all, in his first five seasons, he had only shot more than 40 percent from the free-throw line once.

“Shoot some free throws,” a fan would inevitably yell from the stands.
