What Golden State Warriors rookie forward Jonathan Kuminga lacked in volume, however, he made up for with substance. “Jonathan Kuminga, at his highest gear, is special; like ‘LeBron-James special,’ ” Jama Mahlalela, a Warriors’ assistant coach and the director of player development, told NBA.com. Warriors coach Steve Kerr described Kuminga’s dunk as “spectacular.”“You saw what Jonathan is capable of,” Thompson said afterwards. I’m not going to let that happen.”What else Kuminga vows he won’t let happen: squandering this opportunity with the Warriors. That’s the challenge for him, and that’s what he’s going to keep going after.”* * *Mark Medina is a senior writer/analyst for NBA.com.
