At one time he was a major target for UK. Last played in the NBA for the Portland Trail Blazers, his last appearance was March 10th, 2020. He was arrested last December with 3.4 pounds of marijuana in his vehicle. Photos of his court appearance from a couple days ago were released and he reportedly weighs 400 pounds. Maybe someone who knows how to post images can post the photo, but he looks at least 400 to me.

He is just 24 years old and has a degree from Purdue, so you would think he has a chance to turn things around. Really sad to see him like that and makes you wonder how someone can spiral down so fast. March of 2020 was barely over a year ago, so it’s pretty unbelievable how quickly this happened.

The kid was once a really nice rags to riches story. A once homeless kid who made his way to the NBA. But, unfortunately, it appears his story has gone full circle, rags to riches then back to rags again.

Delonte West repeat story.
Cuban did a great job helping him out. I can't believe I just gave a Hoosier a compliment but he does pay Willie.

I saw a comment saying he was posting all types of messages on Instagram that had people worried over the summer .

If he had all that dope he is not in rags. I assure you he isn't living in a laundry mat like he was when he was 12. He is probably headed for a new home now, but before he got caught he wasn't having to live in a laundry mat.

Imagine going to jail/prison for pot.

3 lbs is hard to believe.
He walked out.
He has to have something wrong to gain 125 in a year

How do you get that fat in 1 year?

Especially at his height. I’m 6’5 and did nothing but eat and gained 50 pounds but he’s gained 150. That’s crazy
That’s wild isn’t it? At 24 years old and his frame you wouldn’t think he could get that fat over the course of 1 year even if he was trying.

COVID was harder on Swanigan than it was on the 2020 Cats

Kid was a beast his last couple years at Purdue. He's going to hate himself later on in life when he truly realizes that his lazyness cost him millions and an NBA career.

3lbs of pot is a lot of pot though isn't it? I mean, if that stuff is dried out, wouldn't that be a couple of trash bags full of it? IDK, but it sounds like a lot.

If he keeps that much dope on hand, I can see how he gained so much weight.

Couple of trashbags would be 40/50 lbs of weed, I suspect. A pound will fit in a gallon freezer bag. I've been told.
