Andre Iguodala has been officially back with the Golden State Warriors for only a few days, but he’s already in mid-season form when it comes to mentoring Jonathan Kuminga. Talking to Dikembe Mutombo in Japan, Iguodala both praised and razzed the team’s 19-year-old forward.
“He’s good, he’s really good,” Iguodala told Mutombo. “But he’s a knucklehead.”
Iguodala was a mentor to both Kuminga and rookie Moses Moody, but Kuminga was a special project. Their lockers are next to each other, and last season you’d often see Iguodala on the sidelines in street clothes, pointing Kuminga in the right direction on defense and yelling encouragement or criticism.
