On the other hand, Klay complimented Kuminga through his Instagram stories. During one of the summer league games, Jonathan Kuminga pulled off an insane dunk; that caught Klay’s eye, and he expressed the same via his social media account.

He put up an Instagram story hyping up the young rookie for his great play. He wrote, “🚀🚀 sheeesh !! put em in a blender then rook!”

It is great to see that players of such caliber are pushing the young guns and encouraging them to be better. In fact, Stephen Curry was also present in one of their Summer league games. But how have the two rookies performed?

Rookies living up to the expectations

Golden State Warriors may have had the best draft of this year. Both Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody have been balling in the summer league.

Kuminga has made his presence on both ends of the floor. He is averaging 15.7 points and 5.7 assists so far. His potential is visible as he has been performing great in all the games.

His compatriot Moses Moody has been equally impressive as well. Putting up 17 points per game and shooting 44% from deep, he has proven to be a serious threat already.

Moreover, the energy and athleticism that these two bring in are valuable to any team. They will play a crucial role coming off the bench for the Bay this season. However, getting up to starters will be tough. With Klay Thompson returning, all spots seem to be taken.

Hence, Kuminga and Moody are in for the long run. However, there is little to no doubt that they will make their marks. Do you think the Warriors had the best draft out of all the teams? Let us know in the comments below.
