MIP candidate

1. MIP and MVP in the same season – Jonathan Kuminga

2. He wanted to take over that game bad. He would not let us lose. That he can do that now without costing us the game is awesome.

4. He’s gonna extend Steph’s career!

5. I don’t think he played that well – missed some easy buckets, committed a couple-three dumb fouls, fumbled the ball – and this was mostly playing against scrubs.

   BUT I loved him attacking the basket and racking up the free throws, and even better his general attitude – going right back to attack after a mistake instead of moping. Like when he had a turnover then raced down the court to block a shot. 👩‍🍳💋

6. I’ve been noticing his finishing around the rim has tremendously improved.

7. ive only seen kings preseason game so far, but ngl, i dont see an MIP season for him. His game still looks unpolished af. In half court offense, i dont think he has the skill to create offense by himself.

   my realistic wish for him is to continue improving his finishing in transition, rely less on that spin move every time he sees someone and improves the FT, since he’ll get a lot of that. if he can smoothen out the 3pt shot that will be a bonus. I think this season he should focus on cutting and just knocking down kicked out 3 pointers. not really sure what his defensive attribute is, but he has the physical ability to be elite on that end, but maybe that will come with experiences.

8. I feel like voting someone on their rookie contract as MIP ruins the spirit of the award.

9. he going to cook this season

10. Chill… regular season hasn’t even started. Playing against vanilla defense and back-up players

11. Steve Kerr somewhere looking at this laughing

12. Great game, but he has to get those turnovers down and make consistent free throws.

13. If he can take that next step it’ll be a big improvement for this year
