Jonathan Kuminga says predraft workout with Magic went well

Most of the pre-NBA Draft chatter about forward Jonathan Kuminga has been focused on his shooting, or rather issues with being a consistent shooter.

Kuminga, who was at Amway Center on Monday to work out for the Magic, shrugged off the suggestion that his shooting touch might drop him a few notches in the draft. The numbers for the 6-foot-7 standout from the Congo tell the story of his shooting struggles. With the NBA’s G-League Ignite, Kuminga, who chose to forgo college, shot just 38.7% from the field and hit only 24.6% of his 3-point attempts.
