Washington Wizards
NBA Trade Deadline target: Jonathan Kuminga, Golden State Warriors
This early in their rebuild, the Washington Wizards should be prioritizing young talent and draft capital. One player that could be on the team's radar is Jonathan Kuminga. He's the type of player that the Wizards could get at a relatively cheap price and his upside is certainly present. Whether he ultimately plays up to his potential remains to be seen but we've seen flashes of it throughout his first few years in the league.
Quite frankly, Kuminga hasn't worked out in Golden State. But that doesn't mean that he's an automatic bust. The Warriors were going to be a difficult situation for any young player to develop - as we saw with James Wiseman as well. A young player landing on a contender sounds good in theory but can ultimately hurt his overall development.
With the Wizards, Kuminga would be able to play. He'd get the experience that he should've been getting through the first few years of his career that he didn't get with the Warriors. Maybe they could make it work again, as the two teams did during the offseason with the Jordan Poole deal.
