Once the legendary trio of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green hang up their jerseys, the Golden State Warriors can rest easy knowing that they have a promising young core waiting in the wings. Players like Jonathan Kuminga, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Brandin Podziemski, and Moses Moody have already displayed flashes of their potential in the NBA, giving fans hope for a bright future post-dynasty.
Kuminga, the rising star of the Warriors, once again showcased his talent in Golden State’s 128-121 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers at Cryptо.cоm Arena. He scored an impressive 23 points, shooting 9-for-16 from the field and making 2 of 3 from beyond the arc.
After the game, Thompson was questioned by reporters about the young forward’s standout performance and his defense against Lakers’ superstar LeBron James.
Thompson praised Jonathan’s outstanding performance, describing him as possibly the top athlete in the NBA due to his impressive speed and ability to excel. Jonathan is seen as the key to the team’s success this season and is considered the future of the franchise.
Kuminga has built a reputation for his spectacular, powerful dunks ever since his debut season in the NBA in 2021-22. Now in his third year in the league at just 21 years old, he has elevated his game to new heights and is frequently the second-highest scorer on the team, trailing only behind Curry.
Throughout the current season, Kuminga has been putting up solid numbers, with an average of 16.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 26.1 minutes per game over 65 matches. Thompson emphasized the importance of Kuminga for the Warriors as they head into the playoffs, should they secure a spot. The talented young player is prepared to step up when it matters most.
