For a 6–9 player, Kevin has a freakishly large wingspan of approximately 7.5 feet. He uses those long arms to shoot over smaller players. His quickness, on the other hand, allows him to post up larger players. A feathery jumpshooter, Kevin is also superb at attacking the rim. As with most scoring champions, he makes it look easy.
Kevin rebounds and passes well for his age. As a defender, he stays low and understands the position game. With each game, he finds subtle new ways to help his team compete.
In just three NBA seasons, Kevin’s body has matured significantly and should continue to do so. At a rookie combine, he could not bench press 185 pounds. After turning pro, he became a regular in the weight room, and it now shows on the court. Although Kevin still looks whippet-thin, he weighs 220 pounds and can withstand the pounding he takes near the hoop.
Kevin was more of a leader by deed than by word when he entered the NBA. That has changed very quickly. He knows how to inspire on the bench and in the dressing room, without overstepping his authority. Of course, that authority grows with every clutch hoop and 25-point game.
