Did any of you read the story on Kevon Looney today in the Mercury? It was all about how he could become a bigger offensive threat with a legit jumper, including from 3.  Said he was referred to as "Baby Durant" in High School because he was so offensively talented, able to do everything.

Would be a game-changer if he did. Says he very well could work on adding shooting to his game this Summer if the Warriors ask him to do so.

I did read it, very interesting. Two points: (1) it notes his hip labrum surgery on both hips (separate years). (2) He's bulked up to survive as a 5/center, and has most recently made very strong gains in his rebounding ability. The amount of work he'd need to do to get back to Baby Durant status might not be workable after his surgeries and physical transformation.

Here's a nice YouTube video of Looney in his high school days. Fun to watch.
