Jonathan Kuminga was a promising wing for the Golden State Warriors before everything came crashing down. Here’s what he does well, why he’s been traded, and his potential fit with the Atlanta Hawks.
He'll shine for ATL in the same way John Collins did. JK is a good on ball defender and an underrated passer. Watch him. He just needs the one thing Kerr wouldn't give him: playing time to gain experience. Just let him run the court and call an occasional play for him, ok Quinn?
If you watched Jk on the Warriors, Jk would start his drive and the other players stop and watch. If they are moving he won’t be double teamed on his drive and then he would find the drive open or he could find the angle better if his teammates used that motion. Sometimes, out of frustration Jk was trying to show what he could do and was Kerr was having nothing if it and would bench him even if was succeeding. Kuminga was told to look to Curry first even if you are open.. of course Curry would get doubled because they knew was the offense. There was Curry, Butler and everyone else. Jk was the ingredients for a delicious soup, but Kerr choice to open a can of Campbell’s soup instead of using that which would likely create incredible results.
he was driving and kicking at the beginning of the year and kerr said he needs to start, then he got hurt. when he came back, he kind of reverted to do or die drive to the basket and turn the ball over 1/2 the time. then he got benched again. so is that kerr's fault or his? it's been like this his whole time at gs…i hope that light bulb goes off in his head soon or he's gonna get benched again.
Kuminga highlights aren't very wowful. Looks like he travels every other play. 3 point shot is pretty ugly looking. None the less we got him for nothing so we'll soon see the fit. We're a deep team with a bunch of combo guards so he may not see the ball as much as he wants here.
What does JK do????? Help The Hawks make the playoffs at 1 or 2 spot !!!! The No more Dubs miss the playin. Just watch. Steve Kerr sucks as a coach!!!!
If the Hawks can grab 7ft Wiseman for nothing they would have an incredible scoring alley oop DUO that was neglected and stifled by Steve Kerr who would not allow them to ball-out together– with Wiseman getting so few minutes and being criticised when he scored 30 points against KD because "he can always score, but thats not we want"!!! — Kerr always had his well spoken college boys (Lamb, Podziemski) he loved in contrast to the BIG BLACK LOTTERY PICKS both of whom were left on the bench. Maybe Kerr has had phobia re very BIG BLACK GUYS ever since MJ punched him out.
All signs is that Wise could still develop into a great Center if he gets consistent minutes on the court.
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)??? I can't fathom Jonathan Kuminga coming off the bench for Zaccharie Risacher. Jonathan Kuminga coming off the bench for Zaccharie Risacher at the 3(Small Forward) would put Jonathan Kuminga in the same situation he was in with Golden State.
Atlanta Hawks Head Coach: Quinn Snyder…May be time for the Atlanta Hawks management to part ways with Quinn Snyder, as replace him with either Marc Jackson or Mike Malone.
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).
You can teach defense, can’t teach athleticism. Kerr was the JK problem even admitting time and again he is not a development coach. Dude Kerr had him playing a corner wing and pushing the ball when Dray was on the pine. Don’t think you really watched the Dubs. JK has an outside shot as well that is developing.
Kuminga was a good player on a stunted, fixed mindset, Steph Show golden state team. Really, who else has thrived in GS? Klay always played 2nd fiddle and KD was already KD when he arrived and then left.
As a lifelong warrior fan. I hope Kuminga goes off with Atlanta! I do feel like he doesn't like doing the little things like rebounding… i feel he thinks hes the number 1.
Truth Be Told; ur a talking D head TOO!!! The problem wasn't really kerr; it was curry…the Defacto dubs owner; Two-Faced curry insists that players defer to him FIRST; and if u don't…like KD; Jordan Poole and KLAY; you gotta GO! Kissing curry's AZZ wasn't/isn't in Jonathan's DNA…that's why He and to the same extent why Buddy's gone TOO
One reason Kuminga was not playable with the Warriors is because of Draymond. How many players couldn't play because Draymond can't shoot and the Warriors couldn't put 2 non-shooters on the floor? How many players couldn't play because Draymond is small for a big but you can't put another big out there because of shooting? Draymond is so bad. So many lineups can't work because you have to account for Draymond being a part of them.
Why do people act like he's some hidden superstar that's just being held back by the evil establishment 😂 guess we'll start seeing ATL be blamed for everything
JK had no added pressure being here. We will work him in and see how he fits. If he can fill in Will and let us rest JJ and our NAW, that’s a huge lift for us! No risk move here. ❤

Kerr hasn't developed a single player since he became a coach. If a player cant run around and shoot 3s he gets them traded.
This is what Gianni’s does I don’t get it
ATL made a huge move. Kuminga is a star. ⭐️
Check out his perfect game.

I can’t wait for this player to ride the bench behind Jalen Johnson and then demand a trade again.
You talk about jk shooting he has a midrange games u gloss over when doing a video cover all aspects when giving criticism 2
he was driving and kicking at the beginning of the year and kerr said he needs to start, then he got hurt. when he came back, he kind of reverted to do or die drive to the basket and turn the ball over 1/2 the time. then he got benched again. so is that kerr's fault or his? it's been like this his whole time at gs…i hope that light bulb goes off in his head soon or he's gonna get benched again.
Kerr made a MONSTER! Can’t wait til he suit up for the Hawks! He fits their timeline perfectly!
JK is a SF not a PF GSW playing that small ball BS had him not playing his natural position
No this video is totally wrong. The only thing wrong with Kuminga is STEVE KERR
He won’t succced there… not because of talent.. because of mindset.
He's trash…play zero defense, dribbles with his hand down, turn overs and has no court vision
Kuminga highlights aren't very wowful. Looks like he travels every other play. 3 point shot is pretty ugly looking. None the less we got him for nothing so we'll soon see the fit. We're a deep team with a bunch of combo guards so he may not see the ball as much as he wants here.
What does JK do????? Help The Hawks make the playoffs at 1 or 2 spot !!!! The No more Dubs miss the playin. Just watch. Steve Kerr sucks as a coach!!!!
I wonder what the next batch of excuses for Kuminga will be
As a warrior fan, I wish him the best. I hope he does well.
He is slow, just wait and see
Kerr sucks
If Atlanta smart they will bring Zach off the bench, he’d do better against those guys too. And won’t be just a shooter
Buminga
Let's go Kum 💦💦Bucket🪣
Young fella just needed some fresh air. He'll adjust over the rest of this season and show out next year.

He will shine in The A. 💯

Aren't Kuminga and Cam Whitmore basically the same player?
One reason Kuminga was not playable with the Warriors is because of Draymond. How many players couldn't play because Draymond can't shoot and the Warriors couldn't put 2 non-shooters on the floor? How many players couldn't play because Draymond is small for a big but you can't put another big out there because of shooting?
Draymond is so bad. So many lineups can't work because you have to account for Draymond being a part of them.
You had me until you said JK doesn't have drive and kick in his game.
Lot of his assists came on drive and kicks to start this season.
If you want to say he doesn't do that often, I'll bite. But there's a reason for that.
Part of it is because the warriors as constructed were a bad 3 pt. shooting team. Besides Steph everybody else was straight cheeks.
Also, JK has a 1 track mind. When he's made his mind to go to the rack. He is going to the rack. The whole world can be open. He is going to the rack.
But yeah, saying he doesn't have kick out game is wild.
Why do people act like he's some hidden superstar that's just being held back by the evil establishment 😂 guess we'll start seeing ATL be blamed for everything
