Today the Warriors sat at home to meet the Lone Rangers, and they eventually won 130:92 over the Warriors. The Warriors were all soldiers in this game, with seven scoring in double figures. Today's Warriors bench players played very well, with three people scoring in double figures. Among them, we have to emphasize Cuminga's performance. Cumminga scored 22 points today, the Warriors' team-highest. And he played less than 18 minutes, scoring 17 points in the fourth quarter. 4-of-4 shooting from outside the three-point line. The overall shooting is 9-of-8, and the efficiency is amazing.
There has always been a conjecture that the Warriors will not use Cuminga as a bargaining chip in exchange for stronger players. Now that fans can dispel this idea, the Warriors management will never trade Cuminga. They have even trained Cumminga as a future leader.
Cuminga's scoring explosiveness was evident in the fourth quarter today, and his outstanding physical qualities are a guarantee that he will be able to score. What is even more surprising is that today he shot all 4 from outside the three-point line. This proves that Cumminga has every chance of becoming a projection player. Imagine what level of player Cumminga would become in the future if he became stable in shooting, and then relied on his super physical fitness? It's unimaginable.
That is to say, Cuminga's lower limit will not be low. If Cumminga had been on a bad team, he might have averaged 20 points per game this season. Depending on how strong he is and how physically he is, he can crush his opponent to the basket to complete the score. But he didn't gain experience in a bad team, and although his personal data was good, he didn't have a good mentor around him. Unlike the Warriors, Curry, Thompson can teach Cuminga to shoot, Green, and Iguodala can teach Cuminga to defend. And Cole's Kuminga can also learn the NBA's tactical strategy as soon as possible. So Cumminga should feel lucky to be selected by the Warriors.
Many fans believe that the Warriors' future Cuminga is the most likely to succeed Curry as the core of the future. From the current point of view, Cumminga is a very motivated and humble player, and he also fits the temperament of a leader. In the Warriors, Cuminga has always been an open mind to learn, and there is no impatience on his face. As a rookie who was selected with the seventh pick in the first round, he was not impatient after seeing that his rookie of the same year already had very stable data. From this we can see the qualities in him, and he is likely to become the new leader of the Warriors in the future.
