He has the most potential for growth out of everybody in the draft Offensively, Defensively, he’s a young iggy, But I do think his celling is Kahwi. With GS they’ll make him a 3 level scorer but he’s already so good getting in the paint finishing through contact, defensively he’s already arrived,
I see your point but disagree. I think his shooting will always limit his ability to play off ball (shot poor last year also). But yeah he looks great with the ball in his hands.
If this kid will stay hungry, coachable, and able to absorb the basketball knowledge from his current team….,his ceiling will be KUMINGA, a new standard.
@@jermainemurray3545 chill out bro it's literally not even the all star break for his rookie season plus idk if you know this but his shooting actually improved significantly since he was drafted and I can confidently say that shooting wont be a factor that limits his potential.
@@shamirwilson6288 No kawaii Leonard shot 37% from 3 Which is what got him on the Court! And Brown shot significantly better from deep and the line! #FACTS
His shot has improved so much,it’s smooth. He’s showing a lot more patience and confidence in knowing where to be and where guys want him. Last couple games Kerr has slowly let him play a little point forward and he looks more and more comfortable handling that role on top of handling the ball. 3-TOs in his last 90 minutes played and he’s snatching rebounds with 16 rebounds in his last 3 games
He’s a better passer than most of you would think, and he’s further along as a ball handler than most 6’8 uber athlete 19 yr olds are. Those are the tools he has to me that solidified his superstar potential.
GSW sees the same advanced stats we do they know per 36 he's just as good if not better than some of the rookies who are balling. They are choosing to ease him in so he gets to watch the system and experiment in different roles in the g league. Look at his minute splits. Every month there is an increase in minutes. He's playing 15 minutes in January. I feel like by March he's gonna get around 20 minutes a game off the bench.
@@Ezmacanic The original comment is right. It's about easing him into things. They want to make it so that he's ready to play GS basketball if he's going to get consistent minutes. They're also setting goals for him to achieve those minutes. This will develop his work ethic and keep him focused on both ends of the court.
Agree. People don’t realize this is the same approach Boston has with Jaylen Brown and the Spurs with Kawhi while trying to win. I think both those players turned out okay
People keep talking about give kuminga more minutes, Obviously y'all don't see the strategy here.. He is getting integrated into the system in a methodical way, he played 25 mins last night. Clearly when dray comes back he won't play that many mins, but as the season progresses you will see a gradual increase in his mins given that he continues to play this well.
@@Hopper830 I actually think u have a point there, managing egos is a big part of being a coach.

@@lastshadowman They're at a crossroad right now. We're officially at the midway point of the season. Do you continue to slow play Kuminga's development or do you ramp him up so he actually be ready to contribute in the playoffs. I know which choice I would make. Draymond said it. Kuminga does things that they have no one on their roster that's capable of doing. When those jumpers aren't falling you're gonna need someone that can get downhill and get to the rim. Kuminga is the best man for that job.
@@Hopper830 U right its prime time to unleash the beast, I actually made made a similar comment separately in this comment section. Kuminga is the only one on the team I see capable of consistently going to the rim by manipulating weaknesses in the defense with a live dribble, he has a great feel for the game and great strength to finish thru contact. His mid range game is also solid.
The crazy thing about his highlights in this video is that it makes him look like the star of the team. He's playing defense, passing the ball well, jump shot looks natural and he showed athleticism. This doesn't just seem like a fluke. This guy is going to be a problem if he continues in this direction
Exactly what I said, there is no reason why he shouldn’t have played more against the bucks, he was literally the best option to guard Giannis lol IDK what Kerr be doing sometimes, but I guess he knows them more than me lol
His shooting form is very clean. Klay-Like. If he learns from Klay to catch n shoot, he will have plenty of room to shoot. This is because the defense is scared of his slashing.
I've been thinking how the magic got a steal with our player franz wagner and how warriors picked this dude before him. I've never really seen any highlights of him until this bulls game. One game isn't enough to go off but I was definitely impressed. He's super, super quick, very athletic and long with good size. This isn't good news for the rest of the league.. man the warrior made a good pick and just to think how good they will be when their injuried young center comes comes back along with klay getting him rhythm and everything back, adding this Jonathan kid with Jordan poole who can score and with curry and draymond.... the NBA might be fuc***. And this is coming from someone who hate the warriors. That is one very talented stacked team. They might go on another championship run.
@@rgonzalo511 you are wrong. If he can reach his potential and with good defensive mentoring, he can get “close” to kawhi level. (If he turns to PG 1.5, I will still say it’s a W)
I think wiggins is not part of that future because in like 2-3 years you need a spot for kuminga and poole in the line up and money too also wiggins contract will be over by then

He should be playing over 20 minutes every game but for some reason he doesn't. The Warriors are way too over reliant on shooting. You need a guy that can get downhill and attack the rim with some power. Only Kuminga has that skillset on their roster. Some might say Wiggins has that skillset.
