Dream Chasing - Green: The Warriors forward star has a bright future, and of course I hope he can stay

Golden State Warriors were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves with a total score of 1-4 in the Western Conference semi-finals and stopped in the Western Conference semi-finals. After the series, Draymond Green, the Warriors' inside pillar, also talked about his views on the future development of the team's forward star Jonathan Kuminga.

Green said: I think Kumingga's future is definitely bright, and talented players like him can usually find a way out, at least I think he will find his own path. As I said, I don't know where his next stop will be, but wherever I'm sure he will do a good job. Looking back on his career over the past four years, I feel he has grown a lot. From the rookie when he came here four years ago to the gradually matured him, the situation has changed a lot. You all saw his performance in G7, he made several wonderful defensive moves on the defensive end, and I pulled him aside and told him that you are playing well now because you already have a good prediction on defense.

Green continued: Whether the Warriors have found a way to keep him, or whether other teams have found a way to join him, he will receive my greatest love and support because I hope he can do better. Ideally, I hope he will stay here. But in the sports and industry we are engaged in, the actual situation is not always going in an ideal direction. Next we will see what will happen, but I wish him all the best in the free market. We all went through this process, and it was a very stressful process. But this is actually the essence of business. I think he has made great progress and I believe he will continue to grow.

In the NBA regular season this season, Kumingga only got 47 opportunities in total due to injuries 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, Kumingga only got 8 play opportunities in 12 games, averaging 23.4 minutes per game, 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%. Although Kumingga's performance after returning from injury showed obvious struggles and ups and downs, in the second round of the playoffs, Kumingga was also ordered to perform at a critical moment when the team's offense was unfavorable and performed at an extremely high level. Kumingga was unable to gain trust in the Warriors and his personal abilities could not be exerted. In this case, perhaps leaving the Warriors is the ideal choice for Kumingga?
