Former NBA star: Many people can complete the explosion by changing teams, and it s time for Kumingga to leave the Warriors

Former NBA star and current ESPN commentator Richard Jefferson talked about the situation of the Golden State Warriors forward star Jonathan Kuminga, who is currently in a restricted free agent state. In Jefferson's view, if Kuminga can change his team, he may experience his own big explosion next season.

Jefferson said: If Kumingga can play in an environment that allows him to continue to grow and be able to freely exert his strength, I think he can be a scorer with averaging 18-20 points per game, and he has the level of attacking the All-Star lineup. But in the Warriors system, this environment is not the most suitable one. Let me give you another example. When Joe Johnson played in the Phoenix Suns, I remember that his average score was about 15 points. Although his average playing time was about 30 minutes, his performance was just average. Later, the Atlanta Hawks signed him, and they gave him enough ball and mobile phone opportunities, and he became the singles Joe in everyone's eyes, with his average score of 25 points per game. James Harden was only the sixth man in the Oklahoma City Thunder, but after arriving at the Houston Rockets, he suddenly became that superstar.

Jefferson continued: So in this case, perhaps Kumingga really needs to change the environment. I think the Warriors' style of playing is completely inconsistent with his personal goals, and he has won the championship, so what he is pursuing now may not only be the team honor, but more importantly, the larger contract and higher tactical status. He needs to further prove his value on the court and complete his own explosion.

In the NBA regular season last season, Kumingga only played 47 games in 82 games, averaging 24.3 minutes per game, averaging 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 30.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 66.8%. In the playoffs, influenced by the tactical arrangement of the team's coaching staff, Kumingga only got 8 play opportunities in 12 games, averaging 23.4 minutes per game, with averaging 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 48.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 71%. Cuminga actually showed super personal abilities in Stephen Curry's injury games during the playoffs last season. Perhaps as Jefferson said, all he needs is to change a team?
