In the post-Andrew Bogut era, the Warriors have had multiple center options that have had varying levels of success, but none of been nearly as successful as Looney. After struggling with injuries early in his career, Looney has been able to stay healthy recently, playing in all 82 games in both '21-'22 and '22-'23, and 74 games in '23-'24. He has continued to improve his game over the years, and was a key contributor to the 2022 championship run.  Looney won't wow you on either end, but he plays within himself and has earned the trust of Steve Kerr, starting the vast majority of games for the Warriors over the last three seasons before mostly falling out of that role in '23-'24. He doesn't have much scoring game, but he doesn't take bad shots and understands how to play within the Warriors' system. He finishes well at the rim, and shooting around 70% from there over the past three seasons, according to Cleaning the Glass. He's a sub-par free-throw shooter at 61% for his career. Looney also has great hands, both when it comes to catching passes in traffic and gobbling up offensive rebounds. His 13.9% offensive rebounding rate in the 2022 playoffs was awesome, as he consistently punished opponents on the glass. He continued that level of rebounding in the '22-'23 regular season and had an even better 16.1% offensive rebounding rate in the 2023 playoffs. That decreased to 11.8% in '23-'24, which is still very good but not elite. Looney does a great job of using his wide body to get leverage when a shot goes up, and his positioning awareness and overall rebounding instincts are among the best in the NBA. When Looney sits, the Warriors don't get nearly as many offensive rebounds, and also give up more offensive rebounds. Part of that is due to the Warriors playing small when Looney sits, but it still shows his effectiveness as a rebounder on both ends of the court.  Defensively, Looney isn't super quick laterally, but teams often make the mistake of thinking they can punish the Warriors by trying to attack him on the perimeter, as he holds up reasonably well most of the time. In the 2022 playoffs, he had some great moments defending Luka Doncic and holding his own. Overall Looney just tries hard on defense and generally knows where to be, as he has been a key cog in the Warriors' elite defense over the years. Looney is an interesting player as I'm not sure how valuable he would be to any team besides the Warriors, as the Warriors can put shooters around him and not rely on him to close games since they usually close with Draymond Green at center. He's not a starting center anymore, but could still be a solid backup for some teams.
