The question of whether Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga can play together for the Warriors has sparked debate. Kuminga's performance in the starting lineup has been impressive, but concerns about the compatibility of their playing styles persist. Observers have pointed out the need to view the players as individuals rather than archetypes. The team's handling of the situation and the potential trade implications are being closely watched.
GSW involved Kuminga offensively as much as I've ever seen -- and he rewarded them. Wasn't always smooth but it was effective and productive. Short of injury, Wiggs might have a hard time getting his spot back.
Dario/TJD/Wiggins/CP3/Podz kind of gross both ways lol Kuminga canโt play 40 mins?
Wiggins is going at Gary Harris, who is a pretty good defender. Also did great stopping Franz on the other end. Put him back in the starting lineup. Enough of the CP starting garbage.
Kuminga goes coast to coast. ๐ฅ (๐ฅ: @warriors) https://t.co/fmp6WtLStr
One of the better halves Kuminga has played in a minute. He's been useful on both ends of the floor.
I don't understand why Kuminga is on Luka instead of Wiggins!!! WHY does Kerr keep acting like Wiggins isn't his best POA!!!
Put. WIGGINS. On Luka.
By the way, it's Wiggins and Kuminga together here. Much better so far than last game.
Trayce's defense has been amazing on Luka, btw. He's there to contest everything, which is not normal for a center, but just better offense. He's gotten a few stops as well. I just think Wiggins should have started the 2nd half and they should have hedged on the actions.
Get Wiggins into the game. Kuminga can't get any stops. Thanks for the scoring but they need more fight and more force defensively against Luka. That last switch was comically easy, although Trayce did well.
The Warriors have an Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga problem https://t.co/xnmQaQjnID
Kuminga's 6th turnover โ SIXTH โ comes after a push in the back went uncalled. He isn't getting any breaks from the rough. Gotta play through it
5 turnovers in 8 possessions. -7 in this stint. It's more of the same badness for Kuminga + Wiggins. https://t.co/V7WwzMdgBp
Kuminga in for TJD. So it's Kuminga + Wiggins time

Can Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga play together? Or do they have to be kept apart, with a ticking trade clock counting down quickly? What will the Warriors do if they canโt coexist? @timkawakami on the possibilities โคต๏ธ https://t.co/rxsvcrtmWX
My $0.02 on Kuminga+Wiggins: Underlying issue is not dissimilar to the previous JK+Wiseman talk--viewing of them as archetypes rather than the players they are/might be. JK/Wiggs are both "wings", but they aren't in the mold of, e.g., Kawhi+PG13 (due to playmaking/handles imo). https://t.co/sKRAZ9xvpn

Can Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga play together? It's the Warriors lineup question with the biggest potential ripple effects... and the clearest countdown to the trade deadline. https://t.co/1vY9w4W01O https://t.co/1vY9w4W01O
