The Warriors have arguably been one of the best performers this season, having won nine straight games after beating the Thunder, the longest winning streak in the league right now. At this stage, the Warriors also rank second in the league with a record of 41 wins and 13 losses, second only to the Suns, and the team has played very well this season.
In addition to the record, the team has also made great progress in developing young players. Kuminga, the team's potential forward with the 7th pick in the first round last year, has grown rapidly in the Warriors' tactical system, and at this stage, he has become the team's main rotation player. Against the Thunder, Cumminga efficiently scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, which was his third consecutive game to score double figures, and before that, Cuminga also had a single game of 26 points, 25 points and 22 points, in the game, Cuminga also gradually showed his talent, recognized by the team's coaching staff.
This season's Warriors can be said to be a double harvest, because they also focus on cultivating young players while the record is at the top of the list. It is very difficult for a team to take care of these two points, and in the history of the league, there are many teams that want to impact better team records, they will abandon young players and let more veterans play. And there are also teams in order to cultivate young players, they will give up the pursuit of records, so that young players get more shots, cultivate their self-confidence.
The Warriors didn't do that this season, and at the beginning of the season, the Warriors did ignore the growth of young players for the sake of record, and in most games, they let the main players play the whole game, and young players rarely got the opportunity to play. And as the season moves into the middle and late stages, when the team's record stabilizes, they will start to give young players more opportunities to perform, allowing them to enter the team rotation lineup, and Cuminga is a very good example.
In the first 20 games of the new season, Cuminga did not play more than 20 minutes, and his personal data in the game was not ideal. When the Warriors ranked in the top two of the league, Cumminga also got the opportunity to play more time, and Cuminga did not disappoint the team, he personally scored 26 points against the Raptors, setting a new career single-game scoring high, and then he has maintained his progress, played a stable role on the personal offensive end, and also can help the team on the defensive end, in addition, he also developed his own outside shot. Now he has a certain ability to shoot outside the line, and has had a performance of 4 shots in a single three-point shot. Under the cultivation of the Warriors, Cuminga has grown rapidly, and now he has shown his talent and potential in the game, becoming a key player in the Warriors lineup.
It has to be said that this season, in the case of a top record, it can also focus on cultivating young players, the Warriors are the best combination of these two aspects, and Coach Kerr is undoubtedly the winner of this season. He also helped the team win the future in leading the team back into the playoffs, and in the next few years, even when Curry, Klay and Green were in a slump, the Warriors still had a very bright future, with players like Cumminga who had the opportunity to succeed. In the active league, there are not many managers who can record and train young people like Kerr without delay.
