Before any of his teammates were out on the floor of the Watsco Center for practice Tuesday, Dewan Hernandez stood just inside the 3-point line and one end of the quarter.
With a few rebounders out on the court with him, the star post player hoisted shot after shot from either elbow. He took dozens of free throws. He stepped out to the 3-point line to throw up shots from long range until a university employee finally pried him off the court for his first interview of the fall.
With a line of cameras pointed at him, Hernandez sat at a courtside table to explain all the decisions in what wound up a very busy offseason.
