Steve Kerr praises Jonathan Kuminga, calls him an explosive athlete
The Golden State Warriors started out the season really well. With their early-season rotations, they didn’t have much space for their star rookie Jonathan Kuminga. However, over time he’s created quite an impression and earned some much deserved time.
Tonight was probably his best performance so far for the Warriors, and Steve Kerr agrees with the same. After the game, Kerr said,
Kuminga himself talked about his performance and said,
He also talked about his passing, and how he’s trying to prioritize getting that right.
As the season progresses, we would see Kuminga getting better and better, and the Warriors would appreciate it even further.
