While a plethora of free agents have already agreed to fresh contracts at this point in the offseason, many are still looking for a new NBA home.

Former top-10 draft pick Jonathan Kuminga fits into the latter category after the Atlanta Hawks decided to decline his $24.3 million team option for next season last month. Perhaps the Los Angeles Clippers could be Kuminga’s next home in the league.

Dan Favale of Bleacher Report recently named the Clippers as a top potential landing spot for Kuminga given their cap space and need for athleticism in the rotation.

“With over $20 million in cap space, room in the rotation for athleticism and rim pressure, and a fuzzy direction that’s blurring the line between the bigger picture and immediate aspirations, the Los Angeles Clippers rise toward the top of prospective Jonathan Kuminga landing spots,” Favale wrote.


“Granted, his skill set can be somewhat redundant to Bennedict Mathurin’s offensive arsenal. But there’s no guarantee the restricted free agent is back. … Even if he is, Kuminga wields more size and nuclear athleticism and profiles as a more intriguing target for guards Darius Garland and Keaton Wagler.”
