• Golden State Warriors young forward Jonathan Kuminga has revealed an interesting interaction with Kawhi Leonard
• The Los Angeles Clippers star gave Kuminga some advice
• The 20-year-old is playing in his second season in the NBA and is developing greatly

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga is slowly growing as a player in the NBA.

In the Warriors' last game, the 20-year-old finished with 19 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the field, seven rebounds, and four steals, in the Warriors last game. He recently revealed words of advice from Kawhi Leonard.

The Congolese youngster appeared in 52 games this season. He is averaging 9.1 points on 50.4% from the field in 20.2 minutes per game. He played 16.9 minutes per game last season, meaning Steve Kerr trusts him, per SI.

The Los Angeles Clippers star is not a vocal player. However, he has been one of the best players in the last decade. He also has two NBA Finals MVP awards.

Kuminga reveals Leonard's advice

The young star was asked about the comparisons he frequently receives to Leonard and if he gave him any advice,

"He's a great player, but I don't look to model my game after anybody," Kuminga said. "I want to be unique, I want to be the only Jonathan. I'll definitely watch some of him, but I'm not trying to model his game to my game," per NBC Sports.

He also revealed that the veteran forward doesn't really talk.

"He don't really talk. The first time I ever heard him talk was yesterday. I dapped him and he was like, 'Keep working, boy and stay healthy.' And that was my second time playing against him."

Kuminga will likely play a crucial role for the defending champions if they make the playoffs.

The two-time NBA champion was pleased with what he saw from the 2017 MVP and believes he adds value to the team.

The veteran point guard has been a steady presence in the three games, but he's still learning to play with his new teammates.
