Has Jonathan Kuminga Developed His Left Hand & Isolation Skills?

After the celebration of life for the assistant coach Dei the Warriors hosted a Hawks team without trayon for the first game in more than a week jnan kaminga leted the W by tyan dubs franchise record for 11 out of 11 field goals and I want to break down how he

Has developed his decision-making skills in isolation with his left hand and off the cash so let’s break this down JK has scored more than 20 points in his last four games and he has gotten much better at taking on mismatches here he gets in post position and the

Warriors completely let him go to work on a small with Garrison Matthews with the Hawks not doubling kaminga goes left with a couple strong bumps then uses his basketball IQ and predicts the last bump and body contact before rising up simultaneously get the bucket and the foul he’s still not the most reliable

Spot up shooter so when we get a two-on-one Advantage here it completely makes sense for Murray to help off the strong side corner one pass away Draymond is not going to force the shot here but with a kickout pass I love how JK has stopped hesitating and instead

Attacks off the catch with a Shimmy Shake he’s able to get Murray even slightly off balance before taking a couple patient dribbles with his left and again Atlanta does not double recently I’ve realized he’s developed some sort of mid-range fade away where he’s able to not force the ball in

Traffic around the rim and instead rise up against smaller guards and gets a clean look from 10 ft even off a defensive rebound he’s become more aggressive pushing the ball up the court the second he sees a small guard he sizes them up and again does

Not settle kaminga has been able to keep his dribble alive and attack in isolation and here he’s able to penetrate and go up with his weak left hand for a high percentage shot around the basket this is probably my favorite move the game with Jaylen Johnson reasonably giving him space on the perimeter

Kaminga slightly shot fakes and again attacks the paint similar play like earlier he keeps his dribble alive with his left hand but because he knows Johnson is as big if not bigger than him JK fakes a step back into a shot fake knowing Johnson would try to go up and

Block the shot instead uses a step through for a wide open layup and that’s great footwork another great example of JK’s maturation with Steph about to set an on ball pick the Hawks are worried about him and want to keep dejonte Murray stuck on him so kaminga looks towards

The screen before bursting with an In-N-Out dribble that freezes Johnson before a quick first step with his left and even takes an extra dribble to get back on balance in order to explode for a dunk he was pretty much able to show the whole package last night and here on the

Cross screen by Cory Joseph the Hawks do not switch but the goal is to get kaminga the ball again the post JK stays aggressive here and reads Johnson’s position remembering the last time he got him up for a shot fake Johnson now plays a little more deep and is giving

Him some extra space simple rise up for the midi that rattles in but you’d imagine Atlanta would live with that kind of shot it’s not too crazy to think kaminga was sooner or later later be the Warriors second option a clay on ball screen gets the Hawks to finally switch

And JK smells blood with a much smaller mismatch he’s definitely not passing the ball here and not selling for a jump shot either so kaminga hits him with a couple In-N-Outs and hesis and I feel like he knew the smaller guard would try to get his hands in a cookie jar to try

To get the steal so JK uses a James Harden move to draw contact before finishing the tough and one goce tried running the same play with the Thompson on ball screen in this time Johnson goes under the pck to prevent the switch another isolation kaminga forces it with his left hand and

Again keeps his dribble alive for the last body bump that contact got his Defender off balance allowing JK to use his strength and goes up strong for another layup we are seeing him improve his patience on ball in real time and immediately after being mad about not

Getting a foul call JK maintains his aggression by playing the passing Lane at half court picking the pass for a fast bra dunk and that was a huge momentum Builder this play had two great Parts first the chemistry then the post playay reaction by Steph Curry with curry screaming for

Kaming and pointing at him I believe this was a decoy because everyone thought JK is setting a Downs spring for the shooter in Klay Thompson including his Defender Jaylen Johnson who’s reading the off Ball action but JK and Steph were definitely on the same page and he fakes a scream for the sudden

Back cut and this chemistry between Curry and him was just beautiful as he gets the reverse layup to go and the foul by Johnson to put icing on the cake we got step to set a cross graen knowing that the Hawks will not switch this gets Johns in the

Trail and kaminga is able to establish deep position in the post no help from the Hawks one more time and JK was just too deep in his bag the whole game completely bullying Johnson by using his body to feel the defender before fading away for probably the toughest shot he

Took all game but he still gets to Shooter role there you guys have it I I was bound to finally make a Jonathan kaminga video after the last few weeks with the devastating sudden loss of one of their assistant coaches the Warriors had an extended time off before coming back

Home and celebrating dei’s life kaminga honored him by tying a franchise record with 11 shots and zero misses to go with nine big rebounds the last four games have been arguably the best of his career so far as the Warriors have been struggling to find consistent lineups

This season and with coaching and player conflicts Steve Kerr finally let kaminga to cook the whole game as we’re able to see him develop his left-hand game improve his decision- making and attacking in isolation now for a back to back so hope to end these next few weeks
