Jonathan Kuminga might be just a few months past his 19th birthday, but the Warriors rookie's remarkable athleticism has stood out to his peers and anyone who has watched him play this season. Kuminga had another strong performance in the Warriors' blowout win over the Chicago Bulls on Friday night, leading teammate Andrew Wiggins to offer a simple but perfect assessment of the rookie's strength.
"He is an athlete," Wiggins exclaimed during his postgame interview with NBC Sports Bay Area. "He can jump out the gym, he is fast, he is strong as s--t, he got it all and today he showed up. He was aggressive towards the rim, hitting his shots, playing amazing defense. The sky is the limit for him."
Kuminga finished Friday's game with 25 points on 10-of-12 shooting from the field, also contributing three rebounds, three assists and three blocked shots.
