We were first made away of Kenny Lofton when his Louisiana Tech team came to NC State and he racked up 36 points and 18 rebounds.
Then we found out that he’s 6-7 and 280, more or less Zion Williamson’s size but without the freak athleticism.
He’s a bit slow, honestly, but he is a damn good basketball player who understands how to use his bulk, as OKC rookie Chet Holmgren found out Wednesday night as Lofton backed him into the paint, muscled him, and generally played over, around or through the Pencil Of the Plains.
