By late September many Golden State Warriors fans were rightly sick and tired of the Jonathan Kuminga free agency drama, so much so that some simply wanted the franchise to move on from the young forward after a turbulent four years.

Imagine saying a month ago -- at a point where Kuminga remained unsigned and with his future still up in the air -- that the 23-year-old would have averaged the second-most minutes of any Golden State player over the first two games.
