So I'm watching the game last night and I see that Looney does the initial center jump and that Kuminga is also starting. I look up the roster and see that Looney is 2" taller than Kuminga, so maybe his reach differential is a little more. But whatever that is I have to believe Kuminga's vertical leap advantage more than offsets it.
So why doesn't Kuminga do the center jump? Is there that much too it that doesn't involve leaping ability?
