Kuminga signed a two-year, $12.4 million deal with the Wolves this offseason, which could prove to be very low in relation to his impact on the court for Minnesota.
Kuminga will be the seventh-highest paid player on the Timberwolves in the coming season, behind Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Rudy Gobert, Jaden McDaniels, Ayo Dosunmu and Donte DiVincenzo.
“Despite the criticism heading his agent’s way, Kuminga agreed to a two-year, $12.4 million deal with Minnesota, with a player option for the second season. At approximately $6.2 million annually, the Wolves are betting on a 23-year-old former lottery pick with significant upside. The player is betting on himself, as well,” Bitar wrote.
“The Timberwolves need an athletic forward alongside Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball, and Kuminga can provide everything they need. If he finally puts together a season in which his decision-making matches his physical gifts, he could become one of the best bargain contracts in basketball.”
Kuminga averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 36 total appearances for the Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks last season.
