Jonathan Kuminga's agent Aaron Turner: Anthony Edwards, Chris Finch, owner were all in complete alignment on wanting Kuminga

Jonathan Kuminga has signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves. His agent, Aaron Turner, said that Kuminga chose the Timberwolves over more lucrative offers from other teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers.

According to Turner, the Timberwolves' star player Anthony Edwards, head coach Chris Finch, and the team's owner were all in agreement that Kuminga was the player they wanted.

Kuminga was originally drafted by the Golden State Warriors with the seventh overall pick in the 2021 Draft. He has been described as a high-upside scoring prospect with a great frame and elite explosiveness, but has struggled with the demands of the modern game, particularly with making connective passing reads and shooting from beyond the arc.
