JONATHAN KUMINGA (GSW)
FUTURE TOP DOG
NBA ROLE: ÜBER-ATHLETIC, NEW WAVE FORWARD
Jonathan Kuminga has everything it takes to become extremely successful in the NBA: star written all over him; began pro career with G League Ignite, got used to playing against similarly skilled players from jump; truly elite NBA athlete with the pure power, strength and supreme athleticism to do damage as an attack-minded forward; loves to get out and run (could become unstoppable on the break), finishes off tomahawks & two-handed scrapers* w/ regularity; excellent “up top” dunker, likes to go up & bring it down hard it after screening; great defender with the versatility and prowess to check bigger forwards and smaller guards; improving outside shooter (slow-ish release, though solid when set), will need time before he’s comfortable as a spot-up & OTD shooter; sporadic minutes/role in Year 2: JK accepts his “super utility” role (and performs it well) but needs more on-court action to properly develop; situational attacker & intense defender off Steve Kerr’s bench: Kuminga serves as another X-Factor for the Dubs on a lot nights - JK’s growth is essential to GSW’s title hopes in 2024
