Look how slow he is in the open court. You can tell he tries to go to the next gear when he approaches teh 3pt line, but he still looks very slow. He gets to the rim because no one turns around and the entire opposing team looks like they are 6'5 and under.
 
Can this dude play defense? Being ranked as the worst PNR defender in the nation is a pretty damning indicator of his defensive ability. If he can't defend he can't play. Period.
 
Sticking with Kaminsky or Booker. I think either of these two guys will help our bench take the next level. Frank is a gamer, willing passer, and can do a lot of things I wanted Tomic to. Booker is a scorer, a shooter, and fearless all around player.

Yep, the part in that article about his defense is very cringe-worthy and they even question his decision making in offense. I guess his position in mocks is about what you can expect from a player who can't defend to save his life.
 
This game shows the potential versatility Looney brings to the table.

Defense, driving in the half court, driving the full length of the court, offensive put backs, knocking down 3s...

You certainly can't have too much shooting in the modern NBA. The key is to have an equal amount of defense.

He had 53 3pt attempts, that's a decent sample size I guess, more than Vonleh last year who managed to hit some this year in his limited time.
He is a great rebounder but needs to learn to pass the ball out when surrounded. With his average hops and weak footwork won't be getting many of those
putbacks to go like he did in college.
