Herren, a 6’2 guard, played for Boston College and CSU Fresno before being drafted in the second round by the Denver Nuggets. He also played a few seasons for the Boston Celtics before pursuing a further professional career in Europe.
The Massachusetts native has suffered with addiction for much of his life, according to his biography on A Hoop Dream, and has founded the Herren Project to provide support and inspiration to others working through a similar plight.
