You guys don’t realize how good this kid is. He’s what we wanted Zion to be. Just an absolute freight train trucking dudes. Easily the best prospect from his draft.

Haha I can assure you that know one needs to tell me how good of a prospect Kuminga is. I was like the 3rd person to ever mention him on this site and Ive been the main person singing his praises for well over 2 years now. My Kuminga fandom was basically a running joke on here.

To be clear Big J, Im just busting your balls haha.

They are a lot more similar than you'd think. Right now the Warriors are using Kuminga more as a forward like Zion was being used earlier in his career. However his best fit at some point will be a primary/secondary ball handler/playmaker like Zion is. He's got a great handle, is a willing passer, has incredible size, quickness, footwork, and athletic profile.

You nailed it. He’s Jeff Green without a jump shot.

Zion is in the top 1% of anyone whos ever played in the NBA in terms of speed, quickness, strength, coordination, hands, touch, IQ, leaping ability.. all in one package. Kuminga is not even close to that. Kuminga is more akin to a bigger Gerald Wallace imo.. the bigger part is what separates him in this NBA though with his strength and suddenness.. however, his overall coordination isn't there yet.. its very baby deerish at times

Cmon man Gerald Wallace was trash. He played on a bunch of terrible teams, and the thing he's best know for is being traded for the pick that landed Lillard. Kuminga is already proving his chops on the 2nd best team in the damn league.
