I think that puts him all the way up at… 7% then!

I mean anyone that actually watches Draymond should know how good he is at communicating things on defense…and if they don’t listen he sucker punches them.

Friday after markets already closed too

It’s almost as if he’s one of the top 5 greatest defenders of all time 🫣

he grew up in Congo

He plays like someone with a socal accent for sure lol

EDIT: don’t mean it in a bad way, just the vibe

We all have accents though

Same! My thoughts exactly man! 

Did you not notice his last name? Lol

Why am I being downvoted? I’m from West Africa myself one country away from DRC

Would have been a safe assumption bc of the name, tbh

Unfortunately I think they used up their draft karma on

checks notes

a guy who has played two minutes so far this series

as an East rival, i kind of hope they don’t!

If hawks get top 4 pick and one of THOSE top 4 guys is quality enough to be in the ROTY conversation hawks skip over really great and move firmly into title contender for at minimum 4 years. 

What’s stopping them now?

I accept this timeline

Depending on what pick they get it could be not great for Kuminga ironically

Team lands top 3 pick, its good for them!? No way.

Do you not remember that guy named, Rissacher? Hawks fucked that up so bad they don’t deserve another top pick.

I feel like all the vets on the Warriors were rooting for Kuminga. Curry said good stuff, Jimmy was sorta taking him under his wing and giving him credit in the media, etc. Like during the standoff in the summer, you never heard anything bad or negative. They were just there to play ball, and help the rest of the team as much as possible.

I know Draymond is a jerk and has anger issues and I highly doubt he was mentoring him or that much involved. But it does feel like the environment he had with the rest of the team was definitely good.

When Kuminga is locked in, he looks every bit the 7 pick he was drafted as.

Draymond talked so Durant walked away

Jordan Poole: Walked? He punched!

Only if your name doesnt start with Jordan or end with Poole

Edit: just noticed the username lmao

Kuminga is pretty good isn’t he

Inb4 I’m not a green fan, but…

That would be Rudy Gobert. The 4x DPOY lol

Is Rudy Gobert

AD. Proved it by putting clamps on Steph in 2023.

AD, Dray and Rudy are definitely the trinity of that era for sure

Great flair.

You either get on a poster with MJ or be on tmz getting clocked by draymond

It’s almost like different people might log in here and share different opinions on different occasions

I don’t think Kuminga was fitting in over with the team

A few times Curry made some exasperated gestures when Kuminga wouldn’t move the ball. I think he wanted him gone too.

Yeah people dont realize this is a curry move not a kerr move

Situation was too cooked. JK was a bad fit and we held onto him for too long. There was no mutual path forward.

Kuminnga is probably delighted he landed on a emerging Hawks team as Golden State look a mess at the moment and I would much rather be playing for The Hawks.

Brunson gained a bit of separation on the spin/turnaround, typically enough to get the shot off. Had Kuminga not given NAW that little boost, he probably wouldn’t have been able to make a play on the ball the way he did.

Whenever you get bumped off like that as a defender, the quicker you gain get on balance and lunge at the defender as they’re retreating, the more you’ll be able to negate their advantage/put them in disadvantage. Kuminga basically just gave NAW like a 30% boost on that play lol.

They run a weird offensive system in GSW that is basically designed specifically for Curry. Everything revolves around Curry.

Kuminga isn’t the type of player to play in a system like that, it’s not his skillset because he isn’t a BBIQ guy. He’s a very gifted and talented athlete that uses his physical abilities to succeed. He just couldn’t figure out how to be efficient in their system.

He’s extremely inconsistent - plays great for 3-5 games, then disappears for 3-5 games. Poor handle, not a great shooter or passer, frequently attacks the rim when it’s well defended and gets stripped. Not a great decision maker. Terrible fit for the Warriors, with their Steph-centric motion offense that requires a high BBIQ, fitting in much better with the Hawks. Freak athlete, we’ll see if his game develops.

Pretty simple, he can’t play with Steph. No player is worth keeping on the Dubs if they drag down Steph Curry lineups.

while I agree, Kuminga didn’t want to buy into the system the Warriors had & didn’t want to learn other aspects of the game

Warriors are the most successful franchise of the last 15 years, any emotionally balanced fan of the team is doing just fine.

This was more or less how all dynasties die. Can’t be tanking with a legend still playing on their last embers, can’t make any serious trades because your best assets are also the ones you’d have zero tickets sales without, i.e. post Steph FRPs.

I’d wait a while longer before gushing over Kuminga though. His numbers in the regular season were barely better than they were on the Warriors. The vibes are immaculate in Atlanta right now but this is a guy who’s looking for his next big payday and an opportunity to prove himself a star. Atlanta loses the next couple or he has a couple of bad plays - we’d be overcorrecting the other way in less than a week.

Cuz of the two timelines fiasco?
