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?
Man I just saw that the 76ers got 30 pieced after they beat the Warriors and about to lose their third straight. I guess we’re back to being everyone’s Championship game.
So much fun. Interesting to see Kuminga with seemingly gentle touches around the rim, suggests he's not just going tunnel-vision agro (which would be exciting but hard to rein in)
Klay not coming back next week per Shams and Anthonyslater. No earlier than December 28. Which sucks cause I’m going to have to miss his debut most likely
So today’s Kerr offense revolves around Steph. What will the offense look like in 4 years? Im imagining it will revolve around Kuminga and Wiseman. Im imagining a starting lineup of Steph, Poole, Moody, Kuminga, Wiseman, with Steph and Klay playing 15/20 min/game, and the other 4 starters playing 35 min/game. Fill in with Dray, Loon, draftees, and whomever else is still around of the Lee/JTA crowd.
It’ll be a different game but exciting nonetheless.
Was JTA the flavor of the season last year or was it a fluke or what? He seems to get very little action so far this year and some of it has been great and a lot of it has seemed spotty. Is he just about out of the rotation completely due to Iggy, CPII and Kuminga coming in? Not to mention OPJR
Really like the flashes we're getting from Kuminga in the limited minutes he's getting with the big club. Assuming health (knock on wood) we can hopefully see him gradually getting more and more minutes up to maybe a 10 per game level towards the end of the season.
That said, the minutes crunch is gonna be real with the return of Klay (lets pencil him in at ~20MPG) and Wiseman (maybe another ~10-15 MPG)? Wiseman should help take some load off of Looney who has probably been playing more minutes than we'd like for health and matchup reasons. I would expect we will just see some of the deeper bench getting 10MPG slices on a rotating basis but it will be really interesting to see how that works out.
Pretty sure Ben Simmons is still available for a package of Wiggins, Wiseman, Kuminga, Moody and future picks. I think it was really easy for Myers to laugh off that offer at the time (if it was ever really made) but boy, it sure has not aged well at all.

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

Fun E1P. So much promise with young Jedi Kuminga. Will he continue his path towards the light or be seduced by the dark (3 point line) side?
Oh and a request - after you break down a play will you run it once at full speed all the way through? Thx!

Knicks players going into covid protocol. Not 1 player for the warriors has had this happen this season. It’s going come eventually

Great stuff Eric!
So in actual NBA games Kuminga has been demonstrating elite:
- Athleticism
- Strength (especially for his size)
- Defensive tools
- Ability to get downhill
Yes, he could be a Kawhi with a 3-pointer, but even without it, I’d settle for a 6’8” Giannis…unless he wants to grow some more.
