1. Jonathan Kuminga

Jonathan Kuminga has been a consensus top-five pick for weeks now. There is a chance that he is jumped by Scottie Barnes but Kuminga will be one of the first players selected on Thursday night. After competing in the G-League last season, Kuminga showed a lot of good and some bad that could make teams second guess.

Kuminga is an incredible athlete. At 6-foot-8, he has a great frame and uses his size and strength to produce at all levels. With that being said, Kuiminga’s jump shot leaves a lot to be desired. He struggles from three-point range and the midrange game.

Kuminga can get to the basket and score in the lane but he will have to improve as a jump shooter. When a player is taken in the top five, they are expected to be a consistent producer from day one.

Kuminga could be a bit of a project with the possibility of turning into a star. If a team is comfortable with this project, they can make it work early on.
