Since Jonathan Kuminga returned from an injury last month, he had difficulty finding his place in the line -up of the Warriors. With the trade deadline acquisition of Jimmy Butler III, it seems as if the young forward minutes are limited while he continues to find out his role in the rotations.
Before his recovery of a sprained ankle, the 22-year-old had played this season in 32 games, on average 16.8 points in 26.0 minutes. Now that he is a month ago, he only played 14, with averages of 12.4 points in 21.1 minutes before Golden State.
During a recent interview with Steve Kerr on 95.7 The Game’s Mark T. Willard and Dan Dabital, the coach spoke about how Kuminga’s role could exist around Butler and Dayond Green. “Every match is different and I think Jimmy’s arrival has taken a lot of Jonathan’s minutes out of the four.
“There is no doubt that as soon as Jimmy arrived and we started winning, we leaned in the line -up combinations that improved Jimmy because we were winning and Jonathan was out for that whole piece,” said the Warriors tactician.
Kerr’s reaction seems pretty clear that Jonathan will remain limited. “We went like 17 and 3 or something, so we keep doing what has won. But the line with Jimmy, Jonathan and Drayond doesn’t really fit well, to be honest. It just doesn’t do it. We need more distance,” he said.
Despite the assessment of Steve, he remains the contributions of his attacker prizes. “Jonathan has done that great. He works hard. He plays well when he is there. But I just go with the line of combinations that I think it will give us the best chance to win,” he said, remember their victory versus the Lakers.
