Golden State Warriors offseason move: Drafting Jonathan Kuminga

One can argue extending Curry is easily the top move they made, but after seeing Jonathan Kuminga in the summer league, one could certainly also argue he has the skills to be one of the best players in the NBA one day.

His floor is still very low, but his ceiling, after fans were able to see him average over 17 points per game in Vegas, is extremely high. The top small forward in the Class of 2020, Kuminga went the G-League route.

He was playing against top talent each outing, unlike those at the collegiate level. That’s struggles will help prepare him, but his lack of size, lack of a shot, and lack of discipline were all reasons why he dropped in the draft.

The Warriors took him at No. 7, and playing against many fellows rookies and then a plethora of second-year players, Kuminga went off in the summer league.

His efficiency and shot selection are still obvious flaws that could come back to bite him, but for now, he’s looking like a potential stud. If the Warriors’ developmental staff can figure him out, they may have one of the league’s next superstars on their hands.
