Jonathan Kuminga's quick NBA development has been impressive during his rookie season, but the 19-year-old wing still has much to learn from his Warriors teammates.
Following the Warriors' 126-112 win over the Washington Wizards on Monday at Chase Center, Draymond Green poked fun at Kuminga's improving screen game.

"JK we were just talking about it. We got to bring him to screening school," Green told NBC Sports Bay Area in his postgame interview. "He's still not quite there yet. He's figuring out the angles which is important because that's the toughest part. Now, we got to get him to start laying some wood. We got to start getting him body-to-body with guys. Because when he screens well, he's going to get dunks because nobody can stop him diving into the paint.
"So, we still got a little bit of teaching to do with JK in screening school before the playoffs. But we'll have him ready."

Monday was Green's first game back after a 31-game absence due to calf weakness caused by an injury in his lower back. The All-Star forward played 20 minutes off the bench, scoring six points and recording a team-best plus-24. It marked the first time in 1,005 days that Green shared the floor with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson aside from the ceremonial start Green got in Thompson's return Jan. 9.

Kuminga, meanwhile, got the start Monday and scored 12 points on 5-for-8 shooting in 27 minutes and continues to exceed expectations during his rookie season.
With only 13 games remaining in the regular season, the Warriors have to make sure every aspect of their game is in order for the championship hunt to come. For Kuminga, it sounds like he'll be doing some studying at screening school with the master before he makes his postseason debut.
