neither of these guys are big enough to play the 5, you'll just get them hurt. kuminga needs to step it up, jamychal is taking up all his playing time and moody is creeping up. theres no path of playing time for him this year with the way its going

Wiseman is terrible, and made Deandre Jordan look like he hasn’t been terrible for 3 straight seasons, but Kuminga isn’t a 5. Have him at 3 or 4. Again, our center situation is still funny because our true 5 isn’t an NBA player.

I’m not so sure bout Kuminga anymore. Dubbs just might be a little to young.

Playing Minga at the 3 is setting him up for failure, especially in a line up with JaMychal and Wiseman. Not sure how you can have all 3 of them on the floor at the same time.

I'm shocked Kuminga and Moody have barely seen the floor in the first two games. This is the time to get them acclimated. If Kerr doesn't trust them in October or doesn't feel they're far enough along, you have to think they're gonna be in trade talks around the deadline.

moody played a lot in the fourth which was surprising

Don’t you think the lineups are a result of Klay/Draymond not playing full minutes?

JaMychal is bigger than Dray, and has rotated at the 5 throughout his career. Kuminga can be used in the frontcourt against ultra-small lineups (like when the Lakers had Bron and JTA in the frontcourt in the first game). They won't get hurt playing against guys similar in stature.

Kuminga has a higher ceiling than Poole. He's the only young guy who has superstar potential on this squad. They need to work him in.

Kuminga can rotate through 3-5. He needs to be out there as much as possible, and he can't be only backing up at the 3. He can play the 3 against traditional lineups, and at the 4/5 when teams go small.

Just no more Wiseman. He drowns every single lineup he's in.
What do you nikkas see in Kuminga. He’s been ass both games and his IQ is nonexistent
We all saw what he was capable of last season.

He needs to be in positions to succeed. Idk why they have him with the ball in his hands at the top of the key. That’s not his role in the slightest.

1. He’s in a lineup with wiseman, who will erase any effectiveness of all 4 players.

2. Kuminga is a play finisher not initiator. Stop having him with the ball at the top of the key

Eh, I don’t think he’s a 5. I agree with everything else u say tho. Kuminga having to share the lions bulk of his mins with a bust is gonna hurt him. He actually played very well with the starters in the first quarter.
