The number one question I get nowadays is, “What is going on with Jonathan Kuminga? Why isn't he as dominant as he was in January?”

The reason is teams are starting to treat him as a number one option, and they have special defenses prepared. Sometimes there's double teams, but the main scheme is to put a goaltender behind the initial defender and to also put a defender be a wall to stop Kuminga from driving into the middle of the paint.

The Warriors are trying different concepts to try to punish this goalie-wall defense, and we look at 7 ideas to counter the new defense. And I think some of these ideas are going to work, but it just takes time for the team to get organized around it and confident around it.

Co-starring Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Moses Moody, Lester Quinones, Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson. With Anthony Davis, Jordan Poole, D’Angelo Russell, Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray.

Includes video analysis of plays from 2024-01-24-ATL, 2024-01-25-SAC, 2024-02-22-LAL, 2024-02-23-CHA, 2024-02-26-DEN, 2024-02-27-WAS, games between the Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Hornets, Denver Nuggets and Washington Wizards.
