The Golden State Warriors have spent the better part of the past 10 years relying on Kevon Looney for often undervalued contributions. Respected internally and arguably disrespected outside of the Warriors' ecosystem, Looney was a crucial contributor who helped anchor the interior.
With Looney signing with the New Orleans Pelicans earlier in the 2025 offseason, however, the Warriors suddenly have a burning question to answer: Is the current talent at center sufficient?
Looney's minutes decreased over time as Golden State created a committee at center that hasn't placed an emphasis on a specific individual to complement Draymond Green.
