The Story in 60 Seconds

Jonathan Kuminga has started the season shooting 63.6 percent from 3-point range across his first three games with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 24-year-old forward went 3-for-4 from beyond the arc in Sunday's 117-94 victory over the Toronto Raptors. Over Minnesota's 3-0 start, Kuminga has converted seven of 11 attempts from deep, having made multiple 3-pointers in each contest against Miami, Orlando, and Toronto.

Writer Kenny Kluska notes that while the current shooting percentage is not sustainable, an improved perimeter shot makes Minnesota's starting lineup significantly harder to defend under head coach Chris Finch. Ten of Kuminga's 11 perimeter attempts have originated from the left side of the floor, including seven from the left corner. Kuminga's next opportunity to maintain his perimeter form comes Monday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
