Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr acknowledges the significant role played by Kevon Looney in the recent success of rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis, whose notable performances have garnered attention, particularly his memorable dunk over Victor Wembanyama.
Looney’s absence from the lineup in the past three games has provided Jackson-Davis with increased playing time and opportunities to showcase his talent. Despite not being on the court himself, Looney remains actively engaged in supporting his young teammate, earning praise from Kerr.
During an interview on 95.7 The Game’s “Willard & Dibs” show, Kerr expressed admiration for both Jackson-Davis and Looney, highlighting Looney’s mentorship and positive attitude towards the emerging rookie.
Kerr emphasizes the importance of teamwork and camaraderie within the team, noting that Looney’s supportive behaviour exemplifies the true spirit of the game and contributes to the team’s success.
In Kerr’s view, unity and mutual support among players are essential components of a winning team, and he commends the Warriors’ collective commitment to each other’s growth and success.
As the Warriors continue their playoff push, it’s evident that Jackson-Davis’s role in the team is solidifying, but Kevon Looney mentorship and encouragement remain invaluable assets to the team’s dynamic.
