Golden State Warriors player to watch: Jonathan Kuminga

Warriors’ first-round pick Jonathan Kuminga has played the best basketball of his rookie season over the past four games. The rookie is averaging 18 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1 block per game as well as shooting 50% from the field during that span.

Kuminga has been very impressive showing flashes of the great athleticism that got him selected seventh overall. Here are some highlights of the best game of his career against Chicago,

The best trait for the rookie is that he plays hard. He is still raw as a shooter, passer, and ball handler, but he gives maximum effort when on the court and that helps create a lot of success for the team.

Kuminga will continue to see minutes increase due to the loss of Draymond. So this homestand will once again be another great opportunity to see what the future star can do with increased playing time.
