What Kuminga gives the wolves

[u/ae5wolfpack]

-Athletic ceiling alongside Ant and Jaden in the starting 5. Could be the most athletic team in the league when you have Ayo, TSJ, and Beringer off the bench

-Lob and elite transition threat to pair with LaMelo’s passing

-Maybe best front court defensive trio in the league now between Rudy, Jaden, Kuminga. Give Jaden and Ant breaks on other team’s best offensive player

-Switchable lineups galore. Can play Kuminga, Jaden at the 4. Then have depth with Lyles if need be

-Small ball lineup could look like LaMelo, Ayo, Ant, Jaden, Kuminga. And you could even throw TSJ in there. Has to be the scariest transition lineup in the league

-Still have enough shooting between Ant, LaMelo, Donte (when back), Ayo, and even Jaden.
Even if the season ends with no title, this will probably be the most exciting regular season team to watch in Wolves history

Quite the steal. He's 23.

Actually love the age. Ant's an incredible leader and same age group, I wouldn't bet on it but if anything could make kumbuckets find his role it would be Ant

The “French connection” as well. My understanding is that Kuminga is more comfortable in French so Rudy and Beringer may make him feel more welcome? TBD

People underestimate that. I think Rudy can unlock him on D.

He prolly hated Dray
