Larry Donelle Drew II (born March 5, 1990) is an American former professional basketball player.
He won the John R. Wooden High School Player of the Year Award in 2008 before starting his college basketball career with the North Carolina Tar Heels.
He transferred to the UCLA Bruins' program, where he played one season and broke the single-season school record for assists.
In his freshman year, he averaged 1.4 points, 1.9 assists, 1.2 turnovers, and 1.1 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game as the Tar Heels won the 2009 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I championship.
Drew had an up and down season as the Tar Heels struggled to a 20–17 overall record and failed to qualify for the NCAA tournament.
[7] On February 3, 2011, Drew left the University of North Carolina's basketball program in the middle of the season.
He did not cite any reasons, but his playing time, scoring, and assist numbers were all down from the prior season, and freshman Kendall Marshall had supplanted him as starting point guard in mid-January.
Drew joined former Tar Heel twins, David and Travis Wear, who also transferred to UCLA.
[16] On November 23, he made his professional debut in a 103–73 win over the Reno Bighorns, recording nine points, three rebounds and six assists in 32 minutes.
[31] The next day, he made his season debut in a 125–107 win over the Iowa Energy, recording three points, one rebound and two assists in nine minutes off the bench.
[41][42][43] Drew played for the United States national team at the 2017 FIBA AmeriCup, where he won a gold medal.
