For fans, All-Star Weekend is a joyous thing, after all, it is a visual feast for fans! The annual All-Star Weekend features all-star rookie tournaments, skill challenges, three-point contests, dunk contests, and all-star tournaments, and in general, the All-Star Rookie Challenge is the first to be played (based on 10 years of experience in watching football). The All-Star Rookie Challenge is generally aimed at first- and second-year students who play well, and some are divided into local teams and world teams. This year, due to a change in the format, players joined the NBA Development League.
This year's Rookie Challenge will feature players from first and second grades and the Development League in tournaments with 4 teams to eventually drive out the winner.
Bari: Cunningham, Daniels, Mobley, Ocorro, Sengkin, Tate, Wagner Jr
Smiling Assassins: Achuva, Bane, Bey, Edwards, King, Hardy, Stewart
Glove Payton: Three goals, Scotty Barnes, Doxenham, Duarte, Henderson, Mike Daniels, Xiaomi Cher
James Worthy: Cole Antoni, Sharp, Gidey, Jaylen Green, Hult Jones, Maxie, Jaylen Sargs
Looking at the rookie challenge list of the All-Star Rookie Challenge, Cuminga, who went from the No. 1 show to the No. 10 show, only the No. 7 show and zaire Williams on the No. 10 show became the pearls. In fact, in terms of performance, both are not bad, both played with talent, especially Cuminga, who averaged 7.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 13 minutes per game (Alphabet averaged 24.6 minutes per game in the first season only contributed 6.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists), shooting 50% of the time, the efficiency is very good! And in the Pelicans' second-round show, Hult Jones averaged 29 minutes per game, able to contribute only 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists, in fact, converted into 36 minutes of data, Hult Jones is far inferior to Cuminga, Cuminga lost on the playing time!
Second, another reason, Cumminga acted as a defensive gate in the Warriors. Due to Dream Green's recent absence, as well as the absence of Iguodala in the early stage, Cuminga played a defensive role. In many games, Cuminga has less than 5 shots, so the data is not good. Due to his recent excellent form, Cuminga has only made more than 10 shots and nine doubles in 15 games, and Cuminga's talent has also been fully displayed during this time.
Against the Lone Ranger, at one point he shot 8-of-9 and 4-of-4 from three-point range. To some extent, his shooting ability is underestimated! In addition to the shooting talent, Cuminga's physical fitness is also very exciting, like this almost no-running bow tomahawk to show Kuminga's physical fitness is very clear. This is also the advantage of Cuminga's draft report, athleticism is almost the existence of the alphabet brother, along with athleticism and physical condition, Cuminga's defense is also a top presence.
For now, at least, Cumminga means a little bit of a small letter. But because there are a lot of Warrior rotations this year, the front positions include Wiggins, Otto Porter, Iguodala, Juan'er, and a returning Klay, Cuminga's playing time is not much, which also causes Cuminga's data to be very limited. After all, the Warriors' current record of 41 wins and 13 losses in the Second Place in the West and second in the League has the hope of competing for the title! Now it can only be said that Cumminga has gained a firm foothold in the Warriors, and the Warriors management is reluctant to sell this talented player!
Of course, the objective reason for Cumminga's defeat is the change of format, not the "arrangement". The selection of 4 Ignition players has reduced the number of two first-year students and two second-year students in relative terms. Among these two players, I think Cumminga and Zaire should have been selected! But for Cuminga, the future is Cuminga's! Now Cumminga can be said to have become one of the important rotations of the Warriors, with a height of 2 meters 03 and an arm span of 2 meters 11, he can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, and become an important substitute for Wiggins in the playoffs! This is definitely a great benefit for the Warriors to rush the championship! Compared with the 37-year-old Paul, although the Suns have a better record, the author feels that the Warriors' replaceability is higher than that of the Suns, and the author is more optimistic about the Warriors winning the championship! For Cumminga in the post-Curry era, it has undoubtedly become the focus of the team's training!
