An improved Kuminga moved into a more consistent role last season, but Dan Favale of Bleacher Report called him the most overrated player in the NBA in a July 22 story, quoting himself on a podcast three days earlier.
“I’m just at the point where I think he might be one of the most overrated players in the NBA. And I don’t mean that as an insult,” Favale said on the July 19 episode of “Hardwood Knocks.”
“But we’re talking about him as if he almost has this Mikal Bridges-type of non-star value. I see the vision with him. But as of right now, I don’t trust the jumper. I don’t trust his ability to generate his own shot unless he’s in space. And the defense is kind of just all over the place.”
