2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kuminga looked out of control at times early in his career, but he was a different player last season. Despite getting off to a slow start, Kuminga averaged 18.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.7 steals and 0.7 threes on 54 percent shooting from January 1 through the end of 2023-24. That's 44 games of excellent play, and he did that while mixing and matching his role. It remains to be seen if Kuminga will be a reserve player this season, but he might be starting since Klay Thompson is now with the Magic. Golden State also added Buddy Hield, Kyle Anderson and De'Anthony Melton during the offseason, which is troublesome since Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis are on the rise as well. We didn't even mention how veterans like Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins need their minutes, making this one of the toughest teams to evaluate. That's probably too many cooks in the kitchen for Kuminga to play 30-35 minutes as a starter, but that would be a frustrating development with how special this 21-year-old forward looked at times last season. Given his upside, fantasy managers may have to reach in drafts to acquire Kuminga's services this season, but optimists could be rewarded if he finally gets the leading role he's been after since his rookie campaign.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Jonathan Malangu Kuminga was born in Goma in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2002. French is his first language. Kuminga moved to the United States just before high school. Kuminga initially attended Huntington Prep School in West Virginia. But after his freshman year, he transferred to Our Savior New American in Centereach, New York, where he earned MaxPreps National Sophomore of the Year honors. Kuminga then again transferred to The Patrick School in Hillside, New Jersey. At Patrick, Kuminga averaged 16.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game as a junior. After his junior season, Kuminga reclassified to the 2020 class, forgoing a senior year of high school hoops. That summer, he announced he would not attend college and instead join the NBA G League Ignite for their inaugural season. Over 13 games with the Ignite, Kuminga averaged 15.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1 steal and 0.8 blocks per game. In the 2021 NBA Draft, 18-year-old Kuminga was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the seventh overall pick.

April 1, 2025
Kuminga (pelvis) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Kuminga logged just seven minutes before exiting Sunday's 148-106 win over the Spurs due to a right pelvic contusion, which will keep him sidelined for at least one game. His absence could open up more playing time for the likes of Moses Moody Gui Santos and Buddy Hield. However, coach Steve Kerr expects Kuminga to return to action for Thursday's matchup with the Lakers, per Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Kuminga garnered a limited role for a second straight season in 2022-23. The 6-foot-7 forward saw slight increases across the board. Most notably, the 2021 lottery pick more than doubled his assists per game from 0.9 to 1.9 and shot 37.0 percent from three (2.2 attempts per contest) compared to 33.6 percent as a rookie. Across 16 starts, Kuminga was more productive, averaging 12.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals-plus-blocks in 28.2 minutes per game, but he was still rough around the edges when handed an expanded role. Jordan Poole and Donte DiVincenzo are gone, but the Warriors replaced them with Chris Paul, Cory Joseph and Brandin Podziemski. Golden State's frontcourt looks the same at the top with Draymond Green and Kevon Looney, but Dario Saric and Trayce Jackson-Davis were added as depth pieces and both offer unique skill sets. There's not a clear path for Kuminga to carve out a larger role unless he can translate his potential into on-court production during his age-21 campaign. Surrounded by two of the greatest shooters ever (Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson), Kuminga needs to focus on taking care of the ball, playing solid defense and dominating the boards before he starts to play over 20 minutes on a regular basis.
Kuminga put together a couple of nice stretches during his rookie season but was largely irrelevant in fantasy. Saddled with a team that will again be chasing a title, Kuminga may struggle again to play consistent minutes. There may be periods throughout the campaign during which he can be a 12-team asset, likely due to the Warriors managing the minutes for several of their veterans. Over the final three months of the 2021-22 season, Kuminga boosted his scoring to 12.2 points per game on an efficient 53 percent from the floor. Unfortunately, he offered very little else, and rostering a player who only offers upside in one or two categories is next to impossible. While he is another player to throw on your watchlist, especially in deep leagues and dynasty/keeper formats, there will be more appealing targets at the back end of standard drafts.
Early in the draft process, Kuminga was viewed as a potential No. 1 overall pick, but by the time the draft rolled around, evaluators were decidedly undecided on the 18-year-old, who spent last season alongside Jalen Green with the G League Ignite. At 6-6, 210 with top-tier athleticism, Kuminga certainly looks the part of an elite NBA wing, but his effort and decision-making raised question marks, as did his 39-25-63 shooting splits. Despite the inefficiency, Kuminga still got to 15.9 points per game - while adding 7.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.9 steals/blocks - but he'll enter the year as perhaps the top boom-or-bust candidate among rookies. For fantasy purposes, Kuminga is too risky to warrant anything but a late-round pick in most standard leagues. And even if does look better than advertised -- he made some head-turning plays in Summer League -- he'll be stuck behind Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, James Wiseman, and perhaps even Otto Porter, in the pecking order.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return Thursday
FGolden State Warriors
March 12, 2025
Kuminga could return from his ankle injury for Thursday's game against the Kings, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year forward has been sidelined since January 4 due to a sprained right ankle. Kuminga was averaging 29.6 minutes a contest in a bench role over the eight games prior to getting hurt, but since then the Warriors have added Jimmy Butler to the roster and seen rookie Quinten Post emerge as a reliable presence in the frontcourt, so it's not clear what kind of role or usage Kuminga will have once he's back on the court.
