Hot Takes for Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman vs. Thunder

The Golden State Warriors were defeated by the Oklahoma City Thunder in Las Vegas Summer League action on Friday.

Wiseman, who is working his way back from a knee injury, had 14 points, seven rebound, two assists and one block in the second half. He made four of six shots and had a three-point try. He made 5 of 8 free throws.

In 26:57, Kuminga had 16 points, four rebound and five assists. He made 5 of 15 shots from the floor and 2 of 7 shots from the outside. All four of his free throws were successful.

Here's what social media had to say about the Warriors duo during and after the game, ranging from Kuminga being a tremendous athlete to Wiseman potentially taking the starting role.

I've seen a more concerted effort from James Wiseman these past few games in terms of aggressively going for the rebound. He's bigger than everyone else on the floor, and he's acting like it. pic.twitter.com/tGjA0mCP81

This warriors and OKC summer league game is showing you both of James Wiseman and Kuminga ceiling.. Kuminga is going to have a higher ceiling offensively but Wiseman should try to follow how Deandre Ayton is an effective 3rd option.

Sean Jordan @BaySean

James Wiseman’s shot is looking fluid.

Cecil Williams @cwillpoetry

Kuminga is scary to think of what could be.

Who in the NBA is a better athlete than Kuminga? List has to be 5 or less

When they're clicking, Wiseman and JK make a great rebounding duo. #DubNation

If Wiseman stays healthy, Loon will have a hard time keeping the starting spot.

This is the first competitive basketball action for the young man. It's not clear if he'll be in the starting lineup in 2022-23 after re-signing with the Warriors.

In 70 games for the Warriors last year, Kuminga averaged 9.3 points and 3.3 rebound while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor and 33.6 percent from deep. He was on the bench.

A good sign for the Warriors is that both players are showing improvements.
