During the offseason, Golden State Warriors big man Kevon Looney has been putting up numbers in the 2021 edition of the Drew League in Los Angeles.
Following a win over win over the Nationwide Blue Devils in the semis, Looney and the I-Can All-Stars met Public Enemy in the Drew League championship game.
The UCLA product dropped a dominant 25 points and 16 rebounds for a double-double against Public Enemy. Along with leading the I-Can All-Stars in the boxscore, Looney came up clutch in the game’s final seconds.
After a pair of misses, Looney tipped in a heroic shot to send the game into overtime.

Coming off an offseason that includes a run to the Drew League championship, Looney is expected to play a key role in Golden State’s frontcourt. During training camp, Looney will likely battle with 2020 No. 2 overall draft pick James Wiseman for the starting spot next to Draymond Green in the Warriors frontcourt.
During the 2020-21 season, the 25-year-old started 34 games, averaging 4.1 points on 54.8% shooting from the field with 5.3 rebounds and three assists per contest.
