The headlines from Jonathan Kuminga’s performance against the Sacramento Kings will probably point to everything about his game that brings out the flash and pizzazz.
Kuminga is an athletic specimen whose bounce and pogo-stick jumps leap out of the screen. It’s hard to ignore his gifts and natural talents, especially at an age where there are still plenty of stuff he’s not allowed to consume.
He’s the face of the Golden State Warriors’ unprecedented philosophy of surrounding their core with reliable and steady role players who are complementary in their quest for championship contention — all while retaining draft picks and focusing on the development of their youth, in what is an attempt to bridge the present toward the future.
