Jonathan Kuminga is already showing the Bucks why they’re better off without him

Writer Jordanna Clark argues that Jonathan Kuminga's preseason debut for the Minnesota Timberwolves demonstrates why the Milwaukee Bucks should not regret missing out on him. After considering Milwaukee and the Los Angeles Lakers, Kuminga signed a $6 million deal with Minnesota. However, in a preseason game against the Indiana Pacers, he struggled significantly, finishing with two points on 1-of-9 shooting and posting a minus-seven rating across 19 minutes.

Clark contends that Kuminga displayed the same offensive inconsistencies and defensive struggles that plagued his tenure with the Golden State Warriors. The writer argues that Kuminga forced difficult shots and failed to function as an effective complementary piece, suggesting his limitations would have brought frustration to a rebuilding Milwaukee Bucks team.
