Golden State Warriors: Is Kevon Looney a Sixth Man of the Year contender?

The former UCLA Bruin played 2018-19 on a minimum contract and was expected to receive a large payday after a breakout season but was relatively underpaid as one of the Golden State Warriors most trusted performers returns to the Bay.

Looney started to show signs of becoming a do it all power forward/center, adding an element of the mid-range to his game.

The third-year star averaged career highs in points, rebounds and assists averaging 6.3, 5.2 and 1.5 respectively. Looney turned out to be one of Steve Kerr’s most reliable contributors throughout last season.

With the departures of Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston, the Dubs are now without a leader for their second unit.
