Kevon Looney

After a terrific postseason run in 2019, Kevon Looney was brought back on a three-year, $15 million deal. He’s one of just a handful of Warriors not playing on a minimum-value deal given that the team has four max-value contracts.

That said, Looney is not playing up too par quite yet, and with the dominance of rookie James Wiseman and the three-point shooting improvements shown by Marquese Chriss, his playing time may be slowing down in the near future.

Looney has played in two games and shot 42.9 percent from the field. He’s been in just 22 minutes and has collected five rebounds to go along with no steals or blocks and six points. He also has had two turnovers and committed four fouls.

Not a three-point threat, Looney’s dominance on the boards and as a defender, what originally got him awarded the contract, just hasn’t been there so far this season. He won’t have long before he’s the odd man out and potentially on the trading block.
