Exhibit 01Negative.NOP flair
We were playing Looney... Who was absolute dog shit
Exhibit 02Negative.NYK flair
Easy pass on Looney. He’s 6’9”, provides zero rim protection, and is not a lob threat. He’s every bit what we don’t need in a backup big. Hell naw
Exhibit 03Negative.NOP flair
He's genuinely beyond washed. Even mega washed DeAndre Jordan looked better as a third string center than Looney did
