Offensively, he’s being molded to fit alongside LaMelo Ball and Jaden McDaniels, especially when Edwards is off the floor. Finch envisions an OG Anunoby-like impact from Kuminga, emphasizing efficiency and smart shot selection over raw scoring. On the bench, TJ Shannon and Ayo Dosunmu are being pushed to build chemistry — Shannon needs to pass more, Dosunmu could be a defensive anchor. Jaylen Clark is praised for his disruptive energy but needs to improve defensively against elite scorers, while Bones Hyland’s growth hinges on refining his three-point shot and becoming a reliable kick-out option. Trey Lyles, though likely seeing fewer minutes, remains respected — faster than he looks, with overseas experience sharpening his self-awareness and identity as a player.
