This season, the Warriors selected Cuminga with the 7th pick, and he was also pinned high hopes by the team, with a height of 2 meters 03 and a weight of 95 kilograms, an arm span of 2 meters 13, and he has the potential of a top forward. But Cumminga hasn't played a lot of time with the Warriors this season, averaging 6.8 points in 12.5 minutes per game, and this year's All-Star rookie Team Cuminga hasn't made the list, and although Cummingga's current game is not outstanding, it doesn't mean the Warriors don't plan to train him, and when Kerr gives him enough opportunities, Cuminga can also give back!
In an NBA regular season game that just ended not long ago, the Warriors took a break from Wiggins, Curry, and Thompson to train the team's youngsters. Cumminga got 16 minutes of playing time in the first three quarters, but in 16 minutes he only scored five points, the performance was very sluggish, just when everyone thought Cuminga was going to screw up this opportunity, he scored 14 points in the fourth quarter of the game, leading the Warriors to reverse the Spurs and win seven consecutive games. He played 11 minutes in the final quarter, almost the whole quarter, and was trained in key moments, and the Warriors just wanted the young player to show his talent.
This season, the Warriors have a good record, so they are willing to give Cuminga enough opportunities to exercise, and his excellent performance has also given the Warriors a blossom day, he is a valuable asset for the Warriors, Curry is currently 33 years old, and the players who created the Warriors Dynasty are also getting old, so the Warriors are also very urgent to cultivate a new successor before Curry's peak passes.
Now it seems that Cuminga can fully assume this responsibility, and he is the future star of the Warriors. If he can grow up smoothly, when Curry is old, he can stand up and lead this Warriors team further, and the Warriors can still maintain excellent competitiveness.
The Warriors' team building model should be emulated by other teams, except for Durant, the core players who created the Warriors dynasty are from their own drafts, the Warriors never skimp on cultivating their rookies, and Kuminga is still willing to leave him on the court in the last quarter even if he is not in good shape some time ago. What team besides them would have such boldness? Looking at other teams, it is more through the trade to build a championship-winning lineup, only the Warriors are willing to take the time to cultivate their own young players, such a virtuous circle has always made the Warriors rank at the forefront of the league, so a team can achieve a dynasty, and cultivating rookies is a must.
Cumminga is a very talented player, at the age of 19 he has already shown his potential as a star, and in the spotlight of Auckland, many people will lose their footing, but he does not play like Wiseman. Rookies always have to go through the training of the game to grow, and now he is on the right path, and the Warriors have given him enough trust. Curry and Thompson also grew up step by step in this way. Before the blossom day, the Warriors should be patient and give Kuminga expectations, this young player from the Congo will definitely not disappoint the team, Curry's successor is in the team, he will carry the banner!
