Appearing on Real Ones with Raja Bell and Logan Murdock of The Ringer, Kerr tempered […]

The Golden State Warriors drafted James Wiseman to be much more than a serviceable starting center. Early-career momentum stalled by a knee injury that cost him all of last season, though, the former No. 2 overall pick hopes to channel what’s made Kevon Looney successful to jumpstart his stalled development. Don’t buy into the potential […]

[…]

Kevon Looney is going to be a key free agent in the offseason, and it’ll be very interesting to see where he lands.

The Golden State Warriors could certainly use help at the center spot, but interestingly, they don’t have plans to seek for one in free agency if they are able to keep Kevon Looney.
