Jonathan Kuminga has excelled in two games off of the bench

The last two Golden State Warrior wins featured former lottery pick and potential future face of the franchise Jonathan Kuminga coming off of the bench. This news came as an eyebrow raiser for many in Dub Nation who thought Kuminga would be a featured part of the starting line up for the forseeable future.

That was why they drafted him at #7 overall, right? And the move seemed especially odd after the team and Kuminga couldn’t agree on an extension this offseason.

I am a big Kuminga advocate, but if this is how the team views him (No extension + moving to bench), why didn’t they just include him in a trade?
