An example of how different things have already been is that he’s averaging 32.5 front court touches through two games with the Hawks after receiving 25.4 with the Warriors.
Beyond the numbers, Kuminga is playing an active role in the offensive sets that Atlanta is running. He’s not being stationed along the three-point line, but is moving freely around the court, catching passes near the rim, receiving encouragement to drive instead of being held to the primary standard of spotting up, and even showcasing his value as a rebounder and passer.
Patience must continue to be preached at a time like this, but Kuminga receiving a chance to explore his potential by having his strengths highlighted and developed is a refreshing development.
