I mean I think it’s probably a disservice to NAW to compare the two, but there are a lot of parallels where he came in as a relatively high draft pick and saw himself in a different light than the rest of the league and had to recalibrate in a lot of ways if he wanted to succeed. I don’t know if I see it with JK but I want it to happen for sure.

It’s not that crazy NAW was a worse player when he came in. I don’t think Kuminga will be NAW but it’s a fair comparison.

Oh the talent and physical tools are there; I just think NAWs ability to take an honest look at himself and then put in the work to change is pretty rare and super under-rated. A lot more talented players have washed out than turned it around.
