Kevon Looney needs more minutes
Kevon Looney, the Golden State Warriors’ second round forward, has earned a chance to get more minutes with his rebounding ability.
The Warriors used their only first round pick following their championship season on a guy that wasn’t going to play. Golden State selected UCLA forward Kevon Looney with the 30th pick. Looney played 5 games during the 2015-16 season following hip surgery.
His draft stock drastically fell after his hip became a genuine concern. Golden State took a chance on him. They were patient, waiting for him to get healthy and get into shape. Looney’s healthy, contributing, and deserving of more minutes.
