NBA 18/19: 3 best performing Warriors players of the season so far

#2 Kevon Looney

Looney has impressed from the bench this season for the Golden State Warriors

Not much was expected from Kevin Looney when he was picked 30th in the NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors in 2015. Despite being highly rated in college, Looney's draft stock had drastically dropped due to concerns with his hip, and many believed that Looney would struggle to develop on the Warriors roster.

Looney featured just five times in his debut season, although he played a more prominent role from the bench in the Warriors back to back title wins. The 18/19 season is, however, proving to be the 22-year-old's breakthrough season, and he is currently averaging a career high 19.9 minutes per game.

The big man continues to be limited on the offensive end, although his defensive capabilities have been highlighted in the absence of Draymond Green. Looney is averaging over 5 rebounds per game in addition to nearly one block PPG, and it looks as though the youngster will continue to play an important squad role, despite the impending return of Cousins.
