Explain One Play: Warriors rookie Jonathan Kuminga helps break away from the Knicks: Part 1, Offense

A list of all Explain One Play articles and videos is at The new Explain One Play index.

Stephen Curry got the media attention for his breaking the all-time threes record in the 2021.12.14.GSW-NYK game, but quietly Jonathan Kuminga was making his most significant contributions so far in his rookie year. In this video, we’ll look at how Kuminga is fitting into the offensive schemes. In short, there were a couple of times when he wasn’t sure what the play was, but he managed to contribute anyway.

I liked that there were no threes hoisted up. And we saw him make a decent read in the four-on-three short roll when Steph Curry got blitzed. We saw him featured in that Kuminga loop play where you start from the left low block and loop him around two screens.

Co-starring Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, Jordan Poole and Gary Payton II. Also with Alec Burks, Derrick Rose, Mitchell Robinson, and Julius Randle.

Wiggins needs a clear line of sight, an open lane, for his rim runs. If traffic, he's always been happy to step back. But Kuminga will drive on the shoulder to get around and through traffic. His ability to attack with force and efficiency in those tight windows is good now. What will it look like in a couple years?

Wise and Kuminga are gonna be an impenetrable front court on defense and and a punishing offense when the keys are ultimately handed to them
