Monitoring Brandin Podziemski’s drives and paint touches and how it could unlock the next step in his development

The first thing you typically associate the word “drive” with when it comes to the Golden State Warriors is Jonathan Kuminga — and with good reason.

His drives this season have been fun to watch. A violent mixture of explosion and audacity — coupled with exquisite body control and an understated ability to stop on a dime — has made his ascension this season very intriguing. There’s an argument that no one else on this team provides the kind of rim pressure and force that he has given a team that has historically lacked such traits.
