The Warriors are the most virtuous teams in the league in recent years to cultivate new talents, they have not only cultivated the championship team of Curry, Thompson and Green, but also Poole has gradually emerged in the past two seasons, and the Warriors also have young players such as Cumminga, and the future talent reserve is very sufficient
The Warriors have won 4 championships in 8 years, the team of the Iron Triangle has been working together for more than 10 seasons, the current level of competition between Green and Thompson has declined significantly, and Curry will also turn 35 next season, and young players may carry the team for the next decade
In 2020, Wiseman joined the Warriors as the top spot, the Warriors' first high-ranking rookie in recent years, but in joining the Warriors have suffered knee injuries such as meniscus, only 39 games in two years, averaging 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.
Like many rookies, Wiseman's body is not strong enough to fight weakly, which makes him suffer a serious loss in the card position and scrambling on the inside line, resulting in no advantage in rebounding protection, which is a fatal problem for the center, the shooting choice and positioning on the offensive end are not clear, Wiseman likes to use the middle shot method, but the shooting efficiency is not high. The most critical thing is the understanding of the blocking and demolition, Wiseman's blocking and demolition quality is quite poor, and there have been famous scenes with Curry blocking and dismantling leaving the defender to the latter and asking for the ball himself
Although he competed in the draft as a college student, he only played 3 games during college. He is actually a high school student, his thinking is still stuck in the core play, and he has not practiced blocking at all, and Wiseman also needs time to adapt to the positioning of the team
Cumminga had just finished his first season with the Warriors, averaging 9.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game, and luckily he had a championship ring in his NBA first season
Although Cuminga had limited opportunities to play last season, the outside world is still looking forward to his future, the physical talent he showed is exciting enough, last season's Cuminga was more of an impressive contribution on the defensive end, with a very fast movement speed at 2 meters 01 meters, allowing him to easily defend multiple positions, but there are a lot of gambling-style scrambles in defense that it is easy to lose the defensive position. After training, the future has a good chance to become a defensive gate in the brave outside line, and even reach the level of Iguodala that year
But as a Warriors player, it is obviously not enough to only defend, just like the problem with Oubre two years ago, Cuminga's performance on the offensive end is also very struggling, incompatible with the team system. As a forward player with a relatively average level of possession, the shooting certainty is not very good, the regular season three-point shooting rate is only 33.6%, the free throw shooting rate is as low as 68.4%, the Warriors' system is very important to share the role of the ball, how Cumminga can make the correct sharing of the ball after reading the defense on the court is very critical
As head coach Kerr said, Cumminga is a player with a high ceiling who can qualify for the 1-4 position and is the cornerstone player for the future Warriors
Both played in the summer league this summer, and Cuminga said in an interview: "We are working well together, hopefully we can play together for the next 10-15 years, we are both very young now."
