📰 The Woodpeckers are paper tigers about to be humiliated by Jared Kumah
August 20, 2026
Let’s be real: the BAL has a Jared Kumah problem, and the rest of the league is too cowardly to address it. While everyone else drools over Ty Burton’s gaudy 35.5 PPG, Kumah is the only one actually playing complete basketball. Averaging 22.8 points and a monster 11.0 rebounds, Kumah is the anchor the Bullies need to dismantle the Woodpeckers. Luke Rumbaugh might be putting up 21.7 PPG, but let’s be honest—he’s a soft perimeter threat compared to the physicality Kumah brings to the paint.
The Woodpeckers are in serious trouble and everyone knows it. This is embarrassing for a franchise that thinks they can compete with the Bullies' frontcourt. Someone on that Woodpeckers roster needs to step up or step aside, because right now, they are just waiting to be humiliated. Elijah Eberly and Devin Atkinson talk a big game on the boards, but they haven’t faced a force like Kumah this season. It’s not just a rivalry; it’s a collision course where the Bullies are going to absolutely dismantle their soft, predictable offense.
Nobody wants to say it, but the Woodpeckers are a paper tiger masquerading as a contender. Comparing Rumbaugh’s measly 1.7 APG to the sheer dominance of Kumah’s double-double machine tells you everything you need to know about who controls the flow of the game. When the Bullies square off against them, it won't be a contest—it’ll be a demolition. The Woodpeckers are done, and Kumah is going to be the one hammering the final nail into their coffin. Pay attention, because the Bullies are taking the throne.
