Recently, a young man born in the 2000s caused a sensation in the basketball circle. Let me show you a dunk to experience it! He currently plays at The Patrick School, Owen's alma mater, and is the junior of Uncle Drew .
This guy is named Jonathan Kuminga, born on October 7, 2002, from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Jonathan translates as Jonathan. This name makes you feel like a superstar: Jordan + Leonard + Iverson!
Jonathan is indeed not an ordinary person. He is a small forward on the field, and is listed as a 5-star high school student by Rivals, 247sports and ESPN, and ranks first in the 2021 class. He is currently preparing to skip the grade to the 2020 class.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will participate in the NBA draft in 2021. Is this meant that he will be booked for the No. 1 pick? Jonathan's physical fitness is amazing, and the buckle is as simple as drinking water.
2021 ranked second in Chet was like a bamboo pole in front of him.
Jonathan is quite strong. It is not an exaggeration to say that his body has reached the NBA standard? He is less than 18 years old this year!
Jonathan studied at Huntington Prep School in his first year of high school and transferred to Our Savior New American School in New York in his second year of high school, averaging 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Later, he transferred to The Patrick School. Fans joked: The young man did nothing else in high school, he transferred to school...
all the way in, and Jonathan was a bug-like existence among his peers.
Jonathan is not a reckless man who only knows how to play body balls. His three-pointers are still a bit accurate.
It can be seen that Jonathan's shooting hand shape is relatively stable, but the shooting speed is not fast, which is also something he can improve in the future.
Jonathan has strong self-confidence. He said in an interview: "Every time I step on the court, no matter who the opponent I face, I regard myself as the strongest one on the court."
2021 Jonathan is definitely a hot spot in the admissions market. So far, he has received offers from 29 universities, including basketball schools such as Kentucky , Duke , etc.
Jonathan participated in last year's Nike Youth Elite Basketball League (EYBL). Facing most of his older opponents, he averaged 20.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.
When asked if he was interested in showing his strength to the outside world on EYBL, Jonathan said: "I'm not just showing myself, but more to show people that I have the ability to win the game together with my teammates."
Jonathan's elder brother once played at Texas Tech. What's interesting is that his elder brother did not recruit Jonathan for Texas Tech, but told him to follow his heart.
Each player who has achieved success also needs unremitting efforts. Jonathan has repeatedly told the outside world that he still needs to improve basic skills such as dribbling and shooting.
Jonathan once posted a photo with the team coach on his personal social media and wrote: "Learn from OG at all times."
It can be seen that Jonathan is a modest and motivated guy. His personal social media is full of various chicken soup articles: "Today's success is likely to become your biggest enemy tomorrow." He once wrote: "Change the world with a smile, not let the world change your smile."
