Another lackluster season saw the Golden State Warriors fail to make the playoffs for the third time in five years. While their superstar point guard, Stephen Curry, continues to prove he’s capable of being the best player on a championship team, Golden State still lacks that secondary star to lessen his burden on a nightly basis.
For long stretches this season, it looked liked third-year forward Jonathan Kuminga was going to be that player for them averaging a career-high 16.1 points per game. However, in an interview with The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr revealed that Kuminga needs to improve as both a shooter and a shot creator in order to become that secondary star that the team desperately needs.
