Kuminga went seventh overall and won a championship in his rookie year with Golden State in 2022, which is a strange way to start a career: a title before a defined role. Across 278 games as a Warrior he averaged 12.5 points on 50.3 percent shooting, always more explosive than the minutes suggested. The Warriors traded him with Buddy Hield to Atlanta for Kristaps Porzingis in February 2026, ending a five-year run in which his usage was the recurring argument. He opened with 17 points and nine rebounds in his first Hawks start; Atlanta went 19-3 after the All-Star break with him in the rotation.

Did You Know?
Born in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo — Kuminga moved to the United States as a teenager with his family specifically to pursue an NBA career, a sacrifice the entire family made together.
He is the youngest of five siblings, all of whom have supported his basketball journey from Africa to the highest level of the sport.
Jonathan was part of the most talented G League Ignite class ever assembled — a group that also included Jalen Green, Daishen Nix, and Isaiah Todd.
He won an NBA championship with Golden State as a 19-year-old in 2022, becoming one of the youngest champions in recent NBA history.
