I kinda feel you but they could have gave him mins, then moved him at the deadline.
Completely icing him out of the rotation was stupid. And he’s only 22. You put him in the best situation to shine then sell his upside. Dunleavy jr (trash as usual) ass and Kerr fumbled.
They sat at the poker table and showed their hand
i agree with trading him at the deadline. he should've been moved this past season or the season before
I don't blame Kerr. Once they got jimmy, the fact that Kuminga doesn't fit was magnified. There's no reason to keep kuminga cuz Jimmy does literally EVERYTHING better. He passes, defends, gets to the line, converts at the line and he has IQ. Kuminga is quite literally underwhelming or just plain bad at all those things.
Kerr did showcase him. Even benched Draymond (who ended up making 1st team all defense) and gave kuminga the start. It was a disaster so draymond got his spot back.
Kerr did literally everything. A 25% USG rate is MVP level usage. Statmuse has it listed at 27% which is as high as Jokic in his championship season.
Anyone saying Kuminga wasn't "given a chance" is just lying.
