Jonathan Kuminga is proving that he’s somebody Golden State can depend on and veteran Draymond Green thinks that due to this, Kuminga is up for an enormous problem.
The staff’s veterans haven’t precisely supplied the best basis for the rising younger stars this season, because the staff sits in twelfth place within the West with a 20-24 report on the season.
Green believes 21-year-old Kuminga is the participant who may help the vets out of a jam and be relied upon the regular the ship.
“We had older guys ride our legs for years, you know,” Green told reporters after the Warriors’ 119-107 win over the 76ers on Tuesday. “Because [when] we have been youthful, [we] have been capable of deal with that. So now it’s [Kuminga’s] flip. He’s going to hold us some [ways] now.
“David Lee set me up for success. Then, I was able to carry him some like he carried me early in my career. That’s the maturation process. That’s what you hope to see. [Kuminga’s] handling it with grace and very well.”
In his maiden NBA season, Kuminga received a chip with the Dubs and has been rising, studying and enhancing since that second.
“That’s why you draft a young guy like that with the seventh pick,” Green stated “Because the roles will reverse, and you’re starting to see that. [Kuminga’s] starting to carry us more than we’re carrying him. And that’s what you hope to see.”
Kuminga is definitely carrying a lot of the load and has been Steph Curry’s finest sidekick of late.
In the swingman’s final six video games, he averaged 25.1 factors per recreation on 60.4-percent taking pictures, to go along with seven rebounds.
The youth within the Golden State staff like Kuminga and rookie Brandin Podziemski have been offering a much-needed spark and their maturation is being rewarded with extra time on the courtroom.
