I don’t think there is a perfect one, but Kawhi is probably the closest one in terms of shot selection and the type of system they both started off playing in. If he can model his game off another wing with a raw offensive skillset, in a motion offense, co-existing with already established star players, than Kawhi is that guy.What’s his comp
His game is so raw I don’t see anybody he can model his game after.
Why does it feel like Jonathan Kuminga is still being slept on?

I think there was a couple big time games in which he didn't really get that much playing time (if he got any at all) meaning he wasn't that exposed to the general public. He's still kind of raw too. But he clearly has the tools and is a really exciting young player, can't wait to see more from him.

Poole, Kuminga and Wiseman is a nice future

He's definitely slept on because you are a pink bytch. Dedicated pink bytch fans are bad luck for good players. bytch ass nikka.
On another note doe, Kuminga has the same skill set as Zion. Not as good and his handle is miles behind A, but as far as strengths, him and Zion are good at the same things.
Breh could definitely average 25ppg in the future, I expect him to have a breakout season next year.

You lost Gil the moment you mentioned Wiseman
IDK.
I want BADLY for his game to develop like Kawhi's. I love Kawhi's game so much, and if Kuminga can develop a consistent jumpshot and play wing defense, that'd be great
The things I wanna see kuminga develop:
-a better handle
-more consistent midrange & 3pt shooting
-a higher FT percentage
-good wing defense (defend the point of attack, and stay with your man w/o fouling. use his big body to make his guy take a tough shot)
People around the warriors were talking about trying to model Kuminga's development so he can be a little more like wiggins. That would be great. Wiggins rebounded well, and played amazing defense. Outside of FT shooting, he did what a model wing player is supposed to do in today's NBA.
Kuminga is just as athletic and strong as Wiggins. No reason why he can't develop into a model wing player
He can score very well. Even in this summer league he just had 28 pts. He wouldve had like 33 if he didn't shyt the bed at the FT line. And wouldve had even more if he hit more 3 poiners. The man can score. He averaged ~15ppg whenever he got 20 minutes. The scoring will be there. The question is, can he use his natural athleticism to play good defense and rebound? Can he be a more willing passer? What he'll need to realize is that, when he gets the ball, it's not always for him to score. Can he make a play for another teammate?

loved him in the draft and loved that the warriors got him. he showed great potential when he got PT. only problem i saw was he was only looking to get his. i think with proper coaching he'll get better at looking for others and making the right pass. i love his upside tho.

So you saying Steph still can't win without another superstar on the roster?

To think they just won another chip without playing Kuminga and Wiseman
Cupboard is definitely FULL

He can become a more athletic version of Kawhi which is... a monster.
But the kid needs to learn the game and get his shot right. Defensive tools are there.

Wiggins will be a free agent and Poole will be a Rfa after this year. Doubt they can pay Wiggins.
