In a recent Nike Competition E15 matchup, Flory contributed 11 points for NY Rens in their 71-66 victory over Team Thad. He shot 45.5% from the field, connecting on 5 of 11 attempts while adding four rebounds to his stat line.
His shooting breakdown showed 4 of 8 success on two-point attempts and 1 of 3 from three-point range. Flory also recorded two assists and two steals with just one turnover, showing solid fundamentals for his age group.
His ability to contribute effectively in this environment suggests continued development potential as he progresses through youth basketball.
Jonathan’s Influence Accelerates Basketball Development
The Kuminga brothers share strategic developmental pathways, highlighting their family’s basketball commitment. Both attended The Patrick School in New Jersey, where Jonathan spent his junior season before entering the NBA G League.
Flory has explicitly stated his desire to “follow in the footsteps” of his brother. Before joining the Warriors, this five-star high school recruit eventually became the No. 1 small forward in his recruiting class.
Jonathan’s career trajectory from five-star prospect to NBA champion gave Flory a clear blueprint for success. The younger Kuminga’s playing style mirrors Jonathan’s emphasis on athleticism, physicality, and versatility, evident in his rim attacks and explosive finishes.
Flory averaged 15.6 points and 1.5 rebounds per game across 14 games during the 2023-24 season. He has participated in events like MADE Hoops East Circuit Sessions, gaining exposure in competitive youth basketball circuits.

His size, athletic ability, and family basketball background have generated early interest, though much development remains ahead in his basketball journey.
