Hoops fans react to highlight clips of Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga's brother Flory Kuminga

Hoops fans have expressed concern over Flory Kuminga, the brother of N.B.A player Jonathan Kumingasuggesting that he may be too advanced for his current high school class. As one of the top prospects in the class of 2028, many believe Flory is significantly overqualified to be in the eighth grade.

Reacting to Flory Kuminga's highlight reel posted on Ballislife's Instagram page, some fans questioned his decision to reclassify:

“How old is he?”

“Was I 13?”

“Grade 8?? Yeah, right…this regrading stuff is getting out of hand!”

“Is he in 8th grade again?”

“How is he in 8th grade if he just played Arts which is a high school in Newark, NJ”

“hehe, 40 years of 8th grade now”

“Double reclassification. Also will play 2 years of Junior College after HS and will be 24,25,26,27 in D1 hoops😂”

“At first glance I thought it was Cam Whitmore. The kid is a beast, but definitely 15-16 vs. 14 in 8th grade🤷🏾‍♂️😫🤣”

Flory Kuminga hopes to follow in the footsteps of her brother Jonathan Kuminga

Despite the chatter among fans, Flory Kuminga appears to be a special talent. The 6-foot-6 forward played a pivotal role for North Charlotte in its win over Lake Norman Christian last Saturday.

Kuminga contributed 12 points on 43 percent shooting from the field, helping North Charlotte to a 53-48 victory. The brother of Golden State Warriors Star Jonathan Kuminga has had a great start to his high school career.

Flory averaged 15.6 points, 0.7 assists and 1.5 rebounds per game in 14 games in the 2023-24 season. He aspires to follow in the footsteps of his brother, who was a five-star prospect and the No. 1 small forward in the 2021 class.

In high school, Jonathan averaged 25 points, five rebounds and five assists per game, earning Slam Dunk to the Beach Most Valuable Player honors in January 2019. He scored 40 points, a single-game record in the event, in a loss against Gonzaga College High School.

As a junior, Jonathan averaged 16.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. He was drafted by the Golden State Warriors with the seventh pick in 2021.
