Heading into the 2020-2021 NBA Season, Jonathan Kuminga was in the conversation for the first overall selection in the 2021 NBA Draft.
However, after forgoing college and opting to enter the G League, he did not impress scouts nearly enough on the offensive side of the ball. In contrast, on defense he is still viewed as probably the best defensive prospect, because of his versatility.
There’s no doubt that Kuminga did not shoot well in the G League, but that shouldn’t necessarily mean he isn’t worthy of a top four pick.
