SAN ANTONIO – Maybe, perhaps, Dwane Casey sees a little bit of himself in Langston Galloway. Well, minus the 3-point shot.
Casey earned his way into the mix for Joe B. Hall’s late ’70s Kentucky powerhouse on pure grit, crawling into the jersey of whomever he was asked to guard from one end of the commonwealth to the other.
Galloway’s calling card might be the incredibly quick trigger on his 3-point shot, but there’s a reason Casey hung with him so long even when he was mostly firing blanks through a February shooting slump.
“His toughness,” Casey said.
