12 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in 24 minutes. That's the answer sheet handed over today by Warriors rookie Cuminga, who played a double-double for the first time in his career. He started today in good shape and made positive adjustments in the second half amid a sluggish performance in the first half. A reporter revealed after the game that Warriors head coach Kerr said that he would use Cumminga as the team's starting big forward during Dream Green's injury. Getting the starting promise from the head coach shows that Cuminga has been recognized by the Warriors coaching staff.
As gold always shines, Cumminga didn't get a chance at the beginning of the season and had to watch his teammates play on the bench. The Warriors have had injury problems in recent times, and Cuminga has to take on more responsibility, and he has not wasted his opportunities. The No. 7 rookie's talent is finally on full display.
Cuminga is a very good physical striker, if placed in a draft year, Cuminga is likely to impact the list or even the top. Cumminga averaged nearly 7 points and 2 rebounds in 12 minutes per game this season. From the beginning of the tournament until December last year, Cuminga did not score in any match in double figures. In recent times, the Warriors have given Cuminga the opportunity to increase his playing time. He has scored in double figures in four consecutive games and is very efficient.
Cumminga has a clear shortcoming on the offensive end, he doesn't have a steady shooting ability. But he has a super ability to finish, thanks to the bonus of physical talent, Cuminga is very clean and clean when breaking through. You don't need to do too many moves to break through the opponent, and you can strengthen your eating against diminutive defender Cumming. Facing the tall interior line, Cummingga has a delicate dribbling technique that can be used to pass the opponent in disguise. This talent is not always available.
Cumminga on the defensive end is even more beautiful. The reason why the Warriors value Cumminga is also because of his defense, Cuminga has shown very good development potential on the defensive end. He is more physically gifted than Dream Green, Cuminga is athletic, the power confrontation is excellent, and the 4 positions on the defensive court are not a problem at all. This game Cuminga had a defensive time that was very addictive. During one defensive attack, Cumminga jumped high and flew his opponent's shooting fan into the audience. Wiggins doesn't often have such shots, and Curry will be even more envious when he sees them.
Cumminga also showed a strong learning ability, we may wish to think from another perspective: a rookie in the first half of the season basically can not get a chance, can only sit on the bench and play to develop the league leveling. After the team gave him a starting spot, he was able to show his strength to contribute immediately, and this learning talent is very frightening. Cuminga is not only talented, but also very low-key and modest, always training diligently, and the dirty work on the field is accepted without prevarication. It's no wonder coach Cole trusts Cumminga so much.
Cumminga is already one of the Warriors' most trusted players at this stage. He is still young, the future improvement space is very broad, if the future Cumming plus practice shooting, strengthen their ball-holding finishing skills, the Warriors will not cultivate a good star? Cuminga's future is bright, and the future of the warriors who own Cuminga is also bright. Dear readers, how do you rate Cumminga's performance in today's match?
