Originally a point guard in a big man’s body in high school – seriously, look up his high-school mixtape, it’s nuts – Kevon Looney had a lot of hype heading into UCLA, even receiving comparisons to Kevin Durant due to his skill level and shooting touch from the outside as a prospect. Well, even in college, it quickly became apparent Looney would not be a Durant, or even a wing, long-term, as the big man had to learn to adapt his game in order to succeed. And succeed he has, as Looney, after going 30th overall in 2015, remains an important piece for the Warriors, starting many hugely important games for them – just as a center, not a point guard anymore – and winning three titles with the franchise.
