Jonathan Kuminga struggled during a Minnesota Timberwolves preseason game against the Indiana Pacers, shooting 1-for-9 from the field. Dunking with Wolves writer Eamon Cassels highlights that Kuminga forced difficult shots, struggled to finish at the rim, and missed all of his three-point attempts, while also having defensive lapses off the ball.

Cassels argues that while signing Kuminga for $6 million provides great value, his offensive inconsistency and erratic decision-making present real concerns for Minnesota. The writer emphasizes that the Timberwolves need Kuminga to embrace a role as an athletic play-finisher rather than taking away offensive opportunities from the team's established core.
