Jonathan Kuminga Highlights vs Kings - Career High 31 Points! - 1/25/24

Warriors may have lost, but it's just so impressive to watch Kuminga improve every single game

[@rb4632]

Kuminga is gonna be a BEAST when he enters his prime

[@joshuabautista2034]

The craziest part is that he is only 21. We got a future star

S tier Potential!

Kuminga was right Kerr was holding him back see what happens when he gets PT

[@ibrahimasanogo8240]

Of course! They knew he was the real deal. Also wanna to make him look dumb to the world. Higher up never give up

[@ninerempire3398]

He made a lot of mistakes tonight on defense tho. But might as well play him since a lot of players are . Hopefully he’s a real impact player going forward and not just a numbers guy

[@johnwalker1761]

[@autumn975]

It was not on him the last two possessions. He did what he could do; Kerr was the issue for the last part of the game

[@beloved1731]

Not just PT but ALSO USAGE. He’s not the stay in the corner kind of guy or a glue guy like Draymond. He needs to get a LOT of touches. We don’t have many of those players so it shouldn’t be an issue and his passing IQ is REALLY underrated. Let the young bull attack and when things break down pass it out to the other off ball guys. It’s crazy it took this long to cater to the only LEGITIMATE rim pressure guy on the roster. Also his defense will only get better with reps. He clearly has the tools. Coaching and reps will easily fix that. He can be the real deal if only the coaching staff realize it. It’s why he’s our biggest trade asset

[@waynezhang8798]

Bro WTF! If the Warriors trade him there an absolute Poverty Franchise! He’s there second best player! The growth is scary He hasn’t even reached his Defense potential yet!

Wilt Tenor in LA was better than Lebron so he gotta go! Cavs traded Lebron back in 2010 for 5 Picks & a 15 million dollar TRADE EXCEPTION 😳 do your own research 😴 the guy that said he getting traded now called Lebron going to Miami July 8th 2010 11:56AM the Decision was aired later that day with official announcement at 9:28PM The guy called Kawhi not wanting to play for the LA Lakers but instead Clippers. He is very Credible! Lebron getting Traded yet AGAIN 👀 Lebron can and will be TRADED to GSW for Kuminga Book it! (+30 Year LA Lakers Fan)

Doesn’t really matter . He played 30 minutes and finished the game

[@damii6024]

trading him would be a mistake because whoever we trade him for won't make us contenders anyways and hes only 21 and hes already our second best player

[@brandonk2528]

I don't think there's a player available that can offer the warriors more things than kuminga right now. The warriors problem is the roster construction. They need a real big that can protect the paint desperately. That's the main reason they can't play defense. Due to luck of size they stay closer to the paint to avoid giving up easy lay ups and they give up wide open 3s. Then teams get into rhythm and destroy them. Once they get a big many problems will be solved

[@hiatuslover5002]

Everytime i missed JK's midrange i keep on coming back to this video.

[@biggalljzionkemp9719]

He should’ve had the last shot. He’s literally been their best player in 2024 !

[@Someothername2134]

He did…2 ft from the basket. And missed. With 10 left on the clock instead of taking his time. This is his problwm that people still aren’t willing to accept.

[@simonko2544]

Kuminga is obviously their best players now when it comes to iso and getting a buckets when they cant find an easy ones through team passing. Probably even more reliable than Steph from observation. Moody will be another player that could rise like Kum bucket. Just give him more playing time Steve Kerr.

[@ncm2738]

Moody is injured. In a straight iso Steph is far more dangerous but Kuminga is their second best in an iso imo.

[@smartlucker4011]

He’s been awesome but don’t you dare say he’s better than Steph

[@user-sw7os5rp9h]

Trayce Jackson-Davis wasn't even played? Why? How can you have defense when you have so many short guys? If you have Curry, Corey Joseph at 6'2 and Brandin Podziemski at 6'4 at the same time on the floor, how can you have defense? How stupid or mental is Kerr putting three short guards on the floor at the same time?????

[@darylfindley7551]

Kerr's insane addiction to 3 guard line-ups, despite years of overwhelming evidence they don't work, having been consistent +/- blackholes (usually losing by 1-2 pts per minute they're on the court together), failing the eye test (you constantly see mismatches being abused in the paint), and overwhelming criticism by fans, media, and commentators, is the most baffling thing I've seen in sports during my lifetime. I know Kerr is stubborn, but this is clown car levels of stubborn, and I think its only GS's culture of loyalty to the dynastic personalities that is saving his job right now.

[@animal4359]

thanks to him the warriors don't lose by 20 pts

[@TirsTireeFired-zi8ss]

This the same guy Kerr benched against the Lakers last year

[@pacolilzz515]

Kuminga should be a 3 permanently. Kuminga has a wingspan of 6'11" and moody had wingspan of 7'2". And that's explains kuminga defensive liabilities inside the paint because his short wingspan, draymond has a wingspan of 7'3" for a 6'7" guy. TJD should man the 4. A perfect center would be like Jaren Jackson Jr, he is big enough to defend inside yet score at the perimenter.

[@matulis4eber853]

i think kerr doesnt want kuminga excel before because they cant afford him if he became a star player

[@user-sw7os5rp9h]

If Kuminga had started, he could have stopped the first quarter blow-out by Kings. SHOULD NOT START with Klay who had 31 minutes but only 16 points. Do you know Klay was only 5 out of 14 field goals (that is only 36%)? JESUS CHRIST, that sucks. And Kaly was only 2 out of 7 for 3 points (that is only 28%). Klay should given those shots to others who have much better percentages now. KLAY SHOULD BE BENCHED or COME OFF THE BENCH. HE SHOULD NO LONGER BE STARTING. HE CAN NO LONGER DEFEND. EVERY SINGLE player had MUCH BETTER percentage shooting. Get KLAY OUT OF THERE and Warriors would have won.
