I don't see how he can be any worse than Keon, who's basically a shorter, older version of Kuminga.
While Kuminga is pretty raw, he does some things that I think are very promising for a player his age. Most importantly, he gets to the rim and draws fouls quite a lot, both compared to his teammates and compared to other top G-League players. Secondly, he's at least an adequate passer, which hints at future potential to make the high-percentage play on those dribble drives. And finally, I think he projects to be at least an average positional defender, which will make it easier to keep him on the court while his offensive game gradually develops.
Most of his film is him getting walled off half of the time off the dribble though.
For being labeled as an athlete, he seems like a guy that isn't that functionally athletic with the ball.
Just seems like Aaron Gordon 2.0.
