For whatever it’s worth, this very much sorta feels like when the Knicks just randomly brought in Randle off of an okay year in New Orleans and were able to turn him into an all-star level player that eventually helped them land a “superstar” in KAT.
Kuminga is still two years younger than Keegan and even younger than Nique Clifford, who we drafted this year.
He’s got legit forward size (this is mainly just aimed at a certain someone) and is an explosive athlete. The shot still isn’t great and he is not the best defender but those are the sort of things that you bet on your player dev team getting to fix. These are the kinds of bets that any team should make when they’re in a rebuild/no-man’s-land situation.
