This fool is just a pure JK hater. Always has been. The man has left your darling Steph's team …leave him alone !
Once he said Jayson Tatum is a 4 it was pretty easy to move on from this non sense
JJ is a PF scores on all levels, JK is a SF that plays best attacking the rim in the midrange, JJ initiates plays that's y he leads in triple double ln the NBA 😂😂😂 with Zacc not developing, it's JKs position to take we also have Corey at SF, Atlanta now has JK, Corey and Zacc at SF kid, that was GSW problem playing JK as a PF 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 JKs only problem is shooting, with Kyle Korver Atlanta will teach him to shoot 😂😂😂😂😂 just like they did JJ, OO, Mo G and Vit Krejer 😂😂😂
This guy dont know ball kuminga and jj got the hawks future bright at the 3 and 4
Hawks fan will be disappointed after a while, at some point people are going to realize Kuminga got plenty of time to develop, he just didnt and is what he is. A 15 to 20 ppg scorer on average efficiency and lacks basically everything needed to be a really good role player. Hes not talented enough to be a star and not dedicated enough to settle in as a role player.
is J Kum a bad fit everywhere ??
JK fans bout to have a rude awakening
There is no world where JK shoots 40% from three. He is a career 33% 3-pt shooter, 32% this season…taking wide open shots, literally no one guarding him.
Kuminga is a perfect fit for what they have in Atlanta in my opinion but we shall see
Other than the Golden State Warriors, Jonathan Kuminga is not playing Power Forward. He's a true Small Forward, which he will be playing, on the Atlanta Hawks team.
Atlanta Hawks new look roster lineup:
Centers
*Onyeka Okongwu,
& Jock Landale;
Power Forwards
*Jalen Johnson,
     Mouhamed Gueye
      & Asa Newell;
Small Forwards
*Jonathan Kuminga,
     Corey Kispert
            & Nikola Durisic;
Shooting Guards
*Zaccharie Risacher(G?/F)
Nickeli Alexander-Walker
& Buddy Heild;
Point Guards
*Dyson Daniels,
  CJ McCollum,
Gabe Vincent
                & Keaton Wallace.
Atlanta Hawks 2-Way-Players:
Caleb Houstan (G/F)
Christian Koloko (C)
& RayJ Dennis (G)
**🤔** Maybe Zaccharie Risacher can slide to the 2 (Shooting Guard)???
Atlanta Hawks Head Coach:
Quinn Snyder…
Atlanta Hawks players within the last year of their Hawks contract, until they are free agents after the end of this season:
***CJ McCollum (PG):
Should be re-signed by the Hawks,
***Gabe Vincent(G),
***Jock Landale (C):
Should be re-signed by the Hawks,
***Keaton Wallace (PG)
***2WP Christian Koloko (C),
***2WP RayJ Dennis (G/F)
& ***2WP Caleb Houstan (G/F).
Jesus the amount of comments here defending Kuminga is insane. This has got to be a bunch of Hawks fans that only ever saw highlight dunks from him. Just like when DeAndre Ayton went to the Lakers, people will be there waiting to tell you guys "We told you so"
Jk is not a power forward
This will work because of the type of offense the hawks run. Lots of Pace with space
Atlanta has Asa, Mo G, OO and JJ at PF, we now have Zacc, Corey and JK at SF, Joc, Koloko and OO at C, our front court is straight, we now have a back court of Dyson, Naw, CJ, Buddy, Wallace and Gabe at PG/SG, the hawks are actually 15 deep, with 2 first round picks in 26, Q will make it work if it doesn't 6 players have expiring contracts next season, including Q, it's all good in the ATL
This video is way off, bro.. GS Kerr is an idiot. This is why JK was not playing. I'm so disappointed that youre this wrong.
Ain't no way he complained until JK was traded away, and now he's chasing him to Atlanta to continue complaining about him
Which other players that were traded before noon pacific time yesterday are not great fits/will fail with their current team?
Good take
What’s the difference between a 3 and a 4 and why can’t you have two if both? Still learning
I can’t wait till Kumingas out the league in 2 years
JK is a small forward
Bullshit excellent trade from Atl position.
Get another athletic freak , who’s a menace in the paint.
And JJ a pass first guy Hawks have shooters to spread the floor excellent pu if you truly know basketball. Low risk high reward move. Unlike Riscachae Kuminga going to get his shots.
Hawks have the deepest team in the league. Buddy Heild and Gabe Vincent are worst players..
Let that sink in
If you look at Jalen as more as a Jokic type player instead of Tatum then you would understand how this could work not calling JJ Jokic but that’s how unselfish he is, and that’s how Atlanta uses him
That "subscribe please" begging bit is way too loud compared to the rest of the video.
On another note Dyson and Naw are the defenders and Tatum ain’t never locked nobody down
u cant be serious and I i like u but clearly hes coming off the bench with Mccolum and Landale which is a great fit, u ok?
I look at these comment sections and can't figure out how people still think Kuminga is good at basketball. Do people just not watch the games? He has some of the lowest basketball IQ I have ever seen. On top of that, he plays selfish ball. He's young and started late, so maybe he'll figure it out eventually, but the glazers and the Kerr haters are just announcing to the world, "I don't know ball".
Garbage take. Do you even study basketball…. Lol. Kuminga perfect fit in ATL.
2 minutes in..im done. 😅
Jason Timpf never like Kuminga don't listen to him, Calling JT a 4 already was the biggest BS on this take. Just check his Channel since Last year or before. He is a Steve Kerr guy. Racist mf
Hold my beer
-Steve Kerr
I think it was worth a shot, they gave up a cripple w a degenerative disease & a more expensive contract for JK. If it doesnt work, they decline his team offer over the summer
Hawks and Hornets are better than Warriors
I think Atlanta just wanted to dump Porzingis somewhere and it was more about that. jK is on a team option. He’s got 30 games. If they don’t like the fit this season they can flip him for someone else
Yeah…ummm…Jaylen Brown is 2…and Tatum is a 3 that can play the 4…idk where u got the idea that Tatum is a 4 from.
