As part of our coverage leading up to the 2015 NBA Draft we will provide profiles of more than 60 prospects, including video interviews with each player, what they're saying leading up to draft day as well as their potential fit on the Bulls.
Kevon Looney, F, UCLA
6'9" | 222 lbs. | 19 years old
2014-15 stats:
11.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 47.0 FG%, 30.9 minutes
Selection:
First round, 30th overall by the Golden State Warriors
NBA
Quotable:
"Rebounding’s something I’ve always been good at. The size really didn’t bother me. I always seemed to find a way to get the ball. I have a knack for getting the ball. It comes naturally to me so that’s something I take pride in. I think I’ll be able to do it on the next level. I don’t know if I’ll do it at the same level I did at UCLA right away but I think over time I’ll definitely be one of the best rebounders."
Analysis:
If there's one area the Warriors can improve on, it's on the defensive glass. Looney won't do much offensively to start (he doesn't need to) so if he can scrap together some rebounds and work on his offensive game he could be a steal in Oakland.
