With the development of the three-point shot in the league, the requirement of perimeter defense has become essential to every franchise. And the credit of this revolution in the league goes to none other than Stephen Curry. Undoubtedly, Curry is the best shooter in the league’s history. So if anyone can train a rookie on the pace of the league at the 3-point line, it’s Curry.

Jonathan Kuminga was drafted in the lottery picks of the first round in this year’s NBA Draft. He joined the stacked roster, which was plagued with injuries last season, which led to their failure in playoff qualification. Subsequent to the Media Day, practice footage has emerged of this duo in the Warriors’ training camp. This should excite every member of DubNation.

Every player has a subjective ‘Welcome to the NBA’ moment. For some players, it is facing the bully of their team or a lesson from their mentor in the team. For Kuminga, there cannot be a better mentor than Curry.

Since Kuminga has already played in NBA’s Affiliate G League, his skill-set is polished to the level of a sub-par player in the NBA. However, comprehensive defensive training against the best offensive duo in the league could help him reach the prime of his abilities soon.

Kuminga recently admitted that he is extremely excited to play along with Stephen Curry and the rest of the Warriors. He told the reporters during Media Day, “It’s been real crazy because … I’m not even going to try to be funny but I used to use Steph in 2K. So, if you’re using Steph in 2K he don’t miss at all. At all. So when you use somebody in 2K and then you get a call that you are getting drafted to the same team as him, it’s crazy.”

So with Draymond nearing the end of his career’s prime, will Kuminga be the next big star for the Warriors? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
