Fun fact of the day:
Jonathan Kuminga is just 4 MONTHS older than projected Top-10 overall picks Amen & Ausar Thompson.
JK's about to have 2 rings before they even get drafted 🤷♂️🤯
I truly feel for JK.
He's 20 years old.
7th overall pick just 2 yrs ago.
Came to the US from the Congo at age 13 by HIMSELF to pursue his bball career.
He's sacrificed so much.
And now just wants a CHANCE to prove himself.
JK, if you see this, we all believe in you ❤️
With that 3-pointer, Jonathan Kuminga has officially made 100 career 3's!
At just 20 years of age, he is now the youngest Warrior to reach this milestone.
Jonathan Kuminga is more than 2 YEARS younger than Keegan Murray, the youngest player on the Kings.
He has yet to share the court with a player older than him in the Playoffs.
Jonathan Kuminga is:
- 1 month older than Paulo Banchero.
- 1 year younger than Jaden Ivey.
- over 2 years younger than Keegan Murray.
This kid turned 20 in October. He's younger than half of the rookies.
And he's been contributing to winning basketball. Incredible.
