I’m really not liking what I see from him. I like his athleticism and size but he doesn’t contribute in anything. No rebounds, steals, blocks, assists. That’s a really bad sign.

He's like a thicker Andrew Wiggins.

The Hawks need to trade for Westbrook.
Kevin Huerter, Gallinari, Capella and cash for Westbrook

I told my buddy last year that the Hawks were a fluke because of a weird season. I stand by that

That would help solidify their tank. One less team to worry about in the East.

Of course Casey's Pistons go back to playing like individual and collective doo doo that gives up 135+pts in a 25+pt blow out loss immediately after fathering us.
God damn.
God damn.

He's averaging 7 rebounds/1 plus steal per 36. This is not nothing. The points scored to assists given ratio is really bad but he's 19 y/o. I think stuff like that can improve as he developes into a grown man, but not sure. Maybe selfishness is a character trait. It wasn't with derozan though.
He's averaging almost a steal/offensive rebound every 12 minutes. This kid is 19 and is a potential build.
Let's playin for 9th!

Gotta improve his shooting as well.
The problem with Kuminga is his lack of feel for the game. It’s this reason why he likely fell in the draft. A feel for the game is something you just don’t develop. To be a good player in this league he needs to bring a lot more to the table. From what I’ve seen he can’t defend either.
Great athlete though.

Kuminga is going to be really good lol. He flashes amazing 2 way potential and literally gets to the rim at will with his first step.

Flashing defensive potential is something that he has always done. The problem is this effort is never consistent. Kuminga isn't showing anything new. He's doing stuff that we all knew he could do. He's a huge work in progress.

I think the talk about his feel for the game has been exaggerated.
His defence has been more than solid, doesn’t look lost on rotations. Really efficient from the field and plays off the ball really well with his cuts to the basket.
Warriors have been developing him properly, it’s night and day from where he was in the G League. I don’t think the 2/3 is his natural position in the league, it’s playing the 4 or small ball 5.

If he was as good as you think he is, he would be playing more.
He's a great athlete and definitely has some tools to build on. But he's very raw and doesn't contribute much aside from scoring. He's a rookie though so don't expect a finished product. But he is absolutely the player that people expected him to be. Improving on those weaknesses will determine how good of a career he has.
