Kevin Durant spotlights Wisconsin prep prospects Tyler Herro and Jordan McCabe on his YouTube channel
Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant may be out a couple weeks with a rib injury, but he's staying busy.
The 2017 NBA MVP released the third installment of a video series on his YouTube channel breaking down film of incoming high school hoops prospects from the class of 2018. Included in his March 20 video were Wisconsin prospects Jordan McCabe and Tyler Herro, the Kaukauna and Whitnall standouts headed to West Virginia and Kentucky, respectively.
The segment, recorded in cooperation with the Overtime app and social-media presence aggregating prep highlights, featured high-quality footage of both.
"The hop on the 'J' (jumper) off the pick and roll, gets you right into your jump shot, that's tough," Durant said of McCabe, in addition to praising McCabe's patience in the pick-and-roll. "Crafty, change the team the way a team plays, will settle you down. That's what you need to win."
McCabe was named Mr. Basketball on Friday and led Kaukauna to a Division 2 state championship the following day.

About Herro, Durant also had kind words.
"You can't just be out there jumping over everybody; you've got to learn to shoot, dribble and pass, and this kid knows how to do it," Durant said.
