Why does it feel like Jonathan Kuminga is still being slept on?

[Unbothered]

He fell off this season...

The championship season and last season he was pretty good but this year he's definitely regressed, used to hear his name alot but now an afterthought on the Dubs roster.

i have no idea what his mentality is, but to be that poor at rebounding at his height/size is troubling to say the least. Multiple times, he's watched rebounds fall and doesnt get to it. To be a 6 ft 7 power forward and have 3 straight games with only 1 rebound says to me he's just not putting in effort. you almost have to TRY to rebound that badly

Warriors rookie Brandin Podziemski gets 16mpg when he plays, and grabs more rebounds. Podziemski is a 19 year old rookie

I've seen it close hand with Patrick Williams breh. I know how frustrating it is, literally.

Main difference between them is that Pat coming into this year is a career 40%+ 3 Point shooter. But he too, just is not good at rebounding. Which gets compounded even more when the team continues running him as your 4. At least for Pat, I've come to realization that he is better served playing more on the wing as a 3.

Knicks West ain't shyt and Kerr not coaching shyt. They should all thank Mark Jackson for asking God to heal Steph's ankles

It’s what happens when FO’s draft based on “tools” and “potential” instead of “can this nikka play basketball in the context of a team?”

Kuminga shot sub-40% FG in the following leagues: G League, summer league, euro basket

His G league Ignite shooting splits are 38/24/62. How is that not a red flag? Especially compared to a dude like Franz Wagner who was more efficient in college and plays overseas as well?

Warriors FO completely disregarded how important self creating, ballgabdling, shooting, and IQ are in today’s league when they evaluated dude. That’s appallingly bad scouting.

The parallels are too much breh. You realize Franz Wagner was selected with the pick that Chicago gave Orlando in the Vuc deal right?



But you're right. The potential picks that don't pan out can cripple the runway for franchises

and they rarely ever do. Chances are, you're not gonna draft the next Giannis. stop tryna teach guys who jump high or run fast to learn basketball

Is it happening brehs?

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Ausar Thompson is what he was suppose to be but being in Golden St and Kerr's loyalty to vets has stunted his growth.

This is a great comparison
