Looney: “I’ve been doing a lot of work. Going into this season a little different, expand my game & try to grow. I’m going to shoot the ball a lot more. It’s something that I’ve been practicing for years, but now it’s time for me to shoot 3s, more midranges. Steve wanted me to improve in that area”

    If Looney was the stretch big we always needed all along, that would be hilarious

    Smart move. Losing Klay means we need to make up that scoring from the other players. Looney never had to be a scorer with Klay and Curry on the team.

    didnt he say he was going to take a few 3s last year…

    I hope he actually does this year

    This is going to be Great!

    Looney is a real one!

    Anything he has taken seriously, he has conquered!

    Looking forward to it Big Man!

    Loony Tunes! Show them what you’re made of!!

    This is nice to hear, but I really hope Steve goes into this season with last season in mind. He should have Trayce higher than Looney in the depth chart. We missed the 6th seed by 4 wins last year. And part of our woes for the first 42 games was Kerr starting Looney 36 times despite his obvious drop off.

    Led the Pac12 in 3pt %. How is he still only 28??

    Looney bounce back season would make me so happy. Love this dude so much.

  9. I think most warriors fans can agree to rally around the hope of looney becoming a shooting option and not completely ignored by defenses.   

    I hope he can shoot something like 36% from 3 next year. What a difference that would make.

    This is the best news all off-season. I’ve always wanted Looney to shoot the midrange because he has good touch and it’s easier than 3s. Really wish that he would have explored this earlier in his career.

    Who has Looney as an All-Star contender on their 2024-25 bingo card?

  12. The whole sub has to buy Looney tops if he starts shooting fives 3s a game.

    Imagine having to worry about Looney at the three point line 😂 I’m so here for that threat.

    Looney was a great shooter at UCLA. He has good form. I would not be mad one bit if he had a few good looks a game and shot the rock

    Honestly I’d rather him lose his fear of driving the ball. There are numerous times I’ve seen him with an open lane to the hole and choose to find the pass instead

    We had our stretch big all along, I believe in Loon!

    Personally I’m prepared for him to start the season 2/30 and then not shoot another 3 for 60 games only to finish the final 5 games 10/25 and we all collectively say, “Where the fuck has this been?” As the Warriors narrowly miss the play-in.
