2022 Fantasy Outlook
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.

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.

March 23, 2023
Kuminga produced 22 points (9-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Kuminga stayed hot on the offensive end and has now dropped in 20-plus points in two of his last three matchups. He's shooting a stellar 66.7 percent from the field and 58.3 percent from deep over this brief stretch, and while that level of efficiency is a welcome sight, it's well above his season-long rates of 51.7 percent and 36.2 percent, respectively. With that in mind, some level of regression is likely headed Kuminga's way sooner rather than later, though he's at least played well enough to earn extra playing time for now.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could leave before deadline
FGolden State Warriors
February 8, 2023
The Warriors are listening to offers for Kuminga, Sean Deveney of Heavy.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Golden State could use another piece or two to bolster its rotation before Thursday's deadline, and Kuminga is a young player with upside who could generate interest from rival teams. However, his trade value has decreased as the season has progressed, mostly due to a severe lack of playing time that has prevented him from earning a steady role with the second unit.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
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.
