Sort of.
Strawberry had a real bad attitude and was a former gangbanger.
This kid reminds me of Gooden is some ways.
Gooden didn't have a bad attitude, just a stupid problem not realizing who his friends were (hint, they weren't the guys getting him to do coke) and saying no to lowlife scum, hangers on, and people looking to leetch off of him.
Sound farmiliar?
This kid has all the same things going around him........right now, that gooden had in the big leagues.
Its the other stuff that might ruin him, it won't be his talent, thats for sure.
Another Doc Gooden in the making?
