Kevon Looney, a.k.a. Loon Dawg, is ready for the upcoming NBA season.
State of play: Looney, who saw his minutes dwindle last season, entered the offseason with a goal to lose weight in order to play faster, be more versatile, and start shooting three-pointers, NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
What Loon's saying: The 28-year-old Golden State Warriors center feels lighter on his feet, and feels "like [he] can move better," he recently told NBC Sports Bay Area.
"I can move the way I want to for longer and I feel like I got a little more stamina. I'll still be in the post and I got to defend those big bodies, so maintain that strength and improve weaknesses that I wanted."
