Raphiael Putney barley fills out an a-shirt. At 6' 10" and 185 pounds his physique evokes every nickname bestowed on Kevin Durant... Iceberg Slim, Durantula, the Slim Reaper.
Today in Santa Cruz, California, Putney will attempt to repeat his career day from Thursday night. He hung 38 points and 18 rebounds on the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in front of over 100 NBA scouts and personnel on a career day. If Putney repeats the NBA could be in his immediate future.
Putney has two things going for him. First he is not tied to the Houston Rockets.
