Jonathan Kuminga tasked with dirty work and connective play while staying confident in his shot.
Chris Finch: “Well, you know, we asked him when he got here. We knew he needed to be our dirty work guy - run the floor, get rebounds, guard at a high level. Just be some connective tissue out there doing all the things that he can do with his physicality, his athleticism. But we also told him to stay really confident in your shot. When you’re open, let it fly. We trust your game offensively. And he’s really shooting the lights out for us right now because he’s getting good shots in the flow of the offense with his feet set. And they just, they all feel like they’re going to go in.”
Kuminga vs. Houston: 16 PTS (4/7 3PM) • 8 REB • 5 AST.
JK is shooting 46.3% from deep this season and over his last two games has 5 BLK and 14 DREB. Minnesota has been +75 with him on the floor this season.
Kuminga now MIN Team BEST 46.34% (19/41) 3s
