The Warriors played at home to the Pistons today, and they beat the Pistons 102-86. The Warriors adjusted their starting lineup for this game. Cumminga was able to make his debut today with Curry and Thompson. Cumminga played 25 minutes today and had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and it is clear that he is very qualified to hand over such a stat in the case of the first time with Curry and Thompson.
Thompson also talked about Cumminga's performance after today's game. Thompson bluntly said that he was too excited about Cuminga, and he thought the Warriors would one day be Cuminga. Thompson believes that when Curry retires, Cumminga is likely to be the one who will take over the Warriors' banner.
In fact, many fans can already vaguely feel the Warriors' cultivation of Cuminga. Cole has now begun to emphasize the use of Cuminga, in fact, he has begun to cultivate him. The Warriors have had the opportunity to compete for the championship in the last two years, and they very much hope that in such an opportunity, Kuminga can be trained on the court, and a rookie player can be baptized in a championship team, which is rare in itself. Cole very much hopes that Cumminga will be able to make progress at this stage.
Cuminga also has the ability to be a team leader. First of all, Cuminga's lower limit is not too low. Because he has a very strong physical quality and talent. So he's not going to be a very inefficient player. What level he can upgrade to in the future depends on his level of delicacy. Apparently, Cole wanted Cumminga to hone his projection skills with the Splash Brothers. Cumminga's 4-on-2 shooting from outside the three-point line today was actually a very positive signal. This proves that Cumminga has a chance to become a consistent player.
Know that the atmosphere of a team's shooting can also have a huge impact on a player. Cumminga should feel lucky to have guidance from Curry and Thompson on shooting technique. Imagine if Cumminga's shots become stable, what level of player will he become in the future according to his physical talent? It's unimaginable.
Cuminga is only 19 years old, and now Cuminga's offensive options are debatable. But in a team like the Warriors, under Kerr's tutelage, he has the opportunity to make rapid progress, and after Curry's retirement, his skills may have matured in all aspects and he has the ability to become the leader of the Warriors.
