Do you think he was a drug addict because he wanted to be the best, but realized he wasn't? I saw a lot of talent in that kid, but the pressure was too much for him to endure.

John Drew was averaging nearly a point a game when he was kicked out of the league.

The pressure definitely was a large factor. However, IMO he is just one of those classic "diseased" individuals with addiction. He definitely had top-10 potential (I mean of that draft) If you watch his documentary, he was a ****ing addict. I mean truly addiction defined him, he was absolutely a slave to drugs. Sad story.
