The Warriors wish Jonathan Cumminga the best

Finally, after weeks of twists and turns, saga Jonathan Cumminga finished in Golden State etc it’s on the sideAtlanta that the Congolese will try to seriously launch his career, at only 23 years old.

Career started with Warriors2021, at a time when the latter were trying to regain a foothold in the league. Which therefore did not correspond to the development of a young person, chosen very high (7th position).

« I think it was a very difficult situation for everyone, given the lack of experience when they arrived and given that we were still aiming for the title » so admitted Steve Kerrit should shine in its systems. ” He needed playing time to make mistakes, experience on the court in the NBA to understand what that entailed. It was very difficult for him not to have the right to make a mistake. And it was also difficult for us to try to develop him while trying to win. I think it’s that simple. »

Draymond Green hopes to ‘become the player we thought he would be’

« Everyone liked him, I liked him and he’s a very good lad, very friendly and very popular in the dressing room. It just didn’t fit » he added, still for ESPN.

As for Draymond Green, he hopes that his student can now go among forever Hawksand that the Warriors will be good coaches for the rest of his career.

« First, I hope we were good veterans to him and taught him what it means to be a professional. This, in my opinion, is the most important. I hope that, whatever happens and whatever the outcome, he walks away with the idea that ‘the guys I was under command showed me the right way’. Then, I hope that when he gets there, he will enjoy this opportunity. I’ve seen comments from coaches saying, ‘Yeah, he didn’t really have a chance to make a lot of mistakes.’ And that’s because we’re trying to win. The hardest part for young players is always when the team is going to win. When you come into this league, you have to make mistakes to learn. But when you’re part of a group that wants to fight for titles, you don’t always have the room to maneuver. I think they will have a few more now. The same mistakes he made two or three years ago, he no longer makes today. But again, if you haven’t really had a chance to let the process go, then you’re still somewhere along the way. Like I said, I hope that’s what he takes from this experience. And most importantly, I hope he becomes the player we all thought he would become.” concludes the powerful Bey wing.
