In-depth analysis: Template Leonard, will he be the next king of the front?

preface

"The one who wins the front line wins the world", the front line has become a team's killer skill since the small ball era, from the beginning of the 2011 season to the present, the FMVP of the finals of the past years has been won by the forward position. The success of the Warriors era was due to durant's addition, and after he left the team, the Warriors did not make the playoffs for two consecutive years. The team management learned his lesson by picking up Cumminga with the seventh overall pick in last year's draft, and his outstanding performance this season has not lived up to the Warriors' expectations, and Leonard's template is likely to become the next king of the front!

Heavy forward, gifted monster

Cumminga used to be known as the nation's no. 1 high school student, and once climbed to the top spot in the draft prediction list, and the Warriors picked Cuminga with the seventh pick, because his lowest predicted pick was fifth. One of Cuminga's best points is that he has an NBA-level confrontation before entering the NBA, with a height of 2.03 meters, a weight of 95 kilograms, and the figure of a striker that many people dream of. After entering the NBA, he didn't even need to gain weight, in addition to his arm span reaching 2 meters 11, although there is still a gap compared to Leonard, but considering his height, he even has a more terrible defensive area than Leonard.

Such a heavy forward is the missing player in the Warriors in these two seasons, and although Wiggins is also talented, he is more agile and soft in play, which is not the offensive interior type of front that the Warriors want. Although Cuminga is a rookie season, but the impact of the inside line is his number one way to play, and his low-level killing ability is the warrior's most needed, due to the reason of stature, Cuminga sits low, basically no one can carry him, he gives people a sense of déjà vu. But now Cuminga is a rookie season after all, the finishing ability is still lacking, many balls can be easily put into the basket, but he did not score, otherwise his scoring ability is stronger. In addition, Cumingga's face frame attack is also a big kill for him, he rushed up and easily tore open the opponent's defense line, so foreign netizens once called him "Little James". That's the scary thing about talent, the Warriors' record has been at the forefront of the league over the years, basically not picking a few players with pure talent, and Cuminga is a clear stream of the Warriors. A team can't always float on the outside to shoot, and it's also important to kill the inside! In the past, the Warriors had hoped that Wiggins would play a little more aggressively, but he had not been satisfied, and now Cuminga's way of playing is what the Warriors have always hoped Wiggins can do.

More malleable and more comprehensive

Cuminga is a very malleable player because he is proficient in eighteen martial arts, not only able to shoot from mid-range, but even outside the three-point line. But there is a common problem among all-round players, they can do everything but not many are really proficient, and Cuminga now has such a problem, although he can shoot, but the stability of the shooting is very worrying.

However, when his draft template Leonard first entered the league, the defensive end was very strong, but the offensive lack of stability, which is why he fell to the 15th pick, but after the tempering of the Spurs, Leonard became a forward player with no dead angles. Cumminga is even more talented than Leonard, so shooting stability can still be practiced for him, and the Warriors are good at shooting players abound, and everyone has this ability. Cuminga's shots need to be improved across the board, from shooting to free throws.

In addition, Cuminga's ability to handle the ball needs to be improved, he should be chasing leBron, his assist-to-turnover ratio is 1-1, which is unqualified for a forward player, Cuminga needs to polish his passing vision. As far as the current development of Cuminga is concerned, he has the possibility of becoming a player of three types of forwards, killing the inside line like alphabet brother, shooting like Durant, controlling the ball like James, and if the three succeed, Cuminga will definitely become the next front line overlord. What's even more frightening is that he may bring the three together in a player, and comprehensiveness is what makes him most attractive.

Mature personality and competitive spirit

In addition to his physical talent, Cumminga also has the advantage that his personality is really good, humble and energetic, and he has a core leadership at a young age. In the Warriors Summer League, Cumminga gathered players together to cheer up, and with this, he was able to cash in on his talent. In addition, Cuminga's competitive spirit is also possessed by superstars, and before facing this rookie Barnes, Cuminga played very aggressively, wanting to prove that he was not weaker than Barnes, and the reason why he wanted to prove himself was because Barnes's rank was higher than his. More importantly, sitting on the bench at the beginning of the season, Cuminga never complained, he is a person who is both angry and can withstand loneliness, which is reminiscent of Kobe, he likes to train alone in the early morning, and wants to beat anyone he is in. But Cumminga is not as aggressive as Kobe Bryant, he knows when to do what, he does not play on the ball, this is a talent that James's type of stadium commander has.

epilogue:

Curry is now 33 years old, and when his big contract ends, Cuminga should have just finished his rookie contract. The layout of the Warriors management is obvious, that is, to let you take over curry class, in recent years, Cuminga's development may not be as good as the same session of Cunningham and Mobley, but after four years of training on rookie contracts, when Cuminga fights alone against the girder, he will definitely live up to expectations and carry the banner of the Golden State Warriors. The future is the era of the front, and Cuminga is the future of the Warriors! Young king, be the next king!
