Jonathan Kuminga has arrived. Everyone wanted Davion Mitchell when we had the 7th pick and when we selected Kuminga I WAS THRILLED. He’s been better than Mitchell (at least now imo). Real fans would want to keep him. Just because he’s playing doesn’t mean we’re increasing his trade value if you think that then you’re truly lost. We’re not trading for a 35 year old Jimmy Butler or maybe even Vooch. They can’t really make a move.
Fire Steve Kerr get a coach that can unlock this young man game to full potential. He should been doing this long time ago now but Kerr has hold him back
Kumbucket going off!
Coach Kerr preferred Wiggins than JK 😂 Wake up Kerr! You should start Curry Moody Kuminga Green and TJD! Bench dennis and wiggins
Kuminga last 4 games : 27.0 ppg 8.3 rpg 3.0 apg and 55% FG / 33% 3 PT / 72% FT splits in 32 minutes.
Kuminga when playing 30 minutes this season (5 games) : 28.2 ppg 8.0 rpg 2.6 apg and 53% FG / 38% 3 PT / 65% FT splits.
Kerr didn't play Kuminga 30 minutes in a game until December 5th which was game #21 of this season.
Kuminga when playing 30+ minutes in his NBA career (39 games) : 20.9 ppg 5.8 rpg 2.4 apg and 55% FG / 42% 3 PT / 72% FT splits.
When Kuminga plays 30+ minutes and he isn't yo-yoed with his on court playing time he performs really well and scores at a great efficiency too. But the huge issue has been he's only played 30+ minutes in 39 out of a possible 240 games in his NBA career or just 16% of the time.
I can only imagine where Kuminga would be as a player developmentally if he were allowed to consistently play starter's minutes from the very beginning of his career without him worrying about getting benched for even DNP'ed if he makes the normal mistakes all young players make in their first couple of NBA seasons.
Amare 2.0!
"Air Congo" I like that
About three more good games and that efficiency is back to respectability and we are back in business
Fantasy holders, our time is now !!
Notice Kuming does 90% of his shots below 3 pointers. The others on GSW should do this and they will win more games. Hield, Wiggins, and Curry were shooting only around 12% combined. STOP SHOOTING 3 pointers as you are shooting so badly, just give it in to the paint or shoot from 10 feet or less and GSW will win 70% more games.
JK's back to back 34 points speaks volume. Last season he got 11/11 tying Mullins. Kerr wanna hide Kuminga on the bench but JK finds a way to shine even more.
Steph almost gave this game away forcing shots if it’s not your night why not just feed the hot hand and let JK close it out
Warriors better pay this man or someone else will
Better than steph❤
Demolition Man
Trade him while his value is high.
Three things the Warriors should do now.
① The only players who are better than the enemy team are Curry and Kuminga, so increase your tactical options around these two.
② Acquire a big man with fast defense and shooting (the two players mentioned in ① above will not be traded)
③ Their current strength is the depth of their members, so they should play basketball with intense pressure for a certain period of time.By doing so, they are also training young people.
If Kerr can't do that, I think he should be replaced soon.
Coach Kerr,.must trust,everyone,in his roster,.curry needs,helped,in dying seconds,in 4th,he must think sharped'dnt be a dumb 😵😩😩😫😫😳😞😞😞😓🤐
Congrats muana mboka Jonathan Kuminga 🇨🇩
I’ve been rooting for Jk for two years. Glad he’s finally getting the opportunity.
He needs empowerment and playing time. He has arrived!
Looks like a young MJ running the floor, even without the ball.
How anyone can see this and say “let’s trade him now” clearly knows 0 about basketball.
Kerr need to be fired
Kuminga bays Godzilla💪
Kuminga has been doing his thing the last two games and overall has had a strong month in December.💯🏀
Never have understood the constant trade rumors. Insane
The amount of trust 23 and 30 have for JK and boosting his confidence up …..I mean who’s gonna stop JK when 30 pulls away multiple defenders off ball , Who’s gonna stop him without fouling with all due respect to Coach Kerr, please believe in Jk like Curry and Draymond do…..We are looking for a superstar to pair with Curry but we have JK is a gem that will give you 25 while holding his own on defence …..night in and night out, It’s not gonna take long for him to become a superstar and I hope it is with our team and not somewhere else, The free throw and mid range might not look as good but he’s young , That is gonna come sooner or later and being mentored by the best shooter God ever created ,He’s gonna improve his jump shots and FT over time Draymond with his Basketball IQ will mentor him on the defensive end….its not gonna take long I can assure you…..pleassaeeeeeeee Don’t trade him, Steph and Draymond will polish him
