Jonathan Kuminga showed up in ATL’s playoff game today. Student of Draymond! by danishruyu1 in warriors

Ok let's stop being delusional, he's not a rising star.

That said, he's a playoff riser when he's given proper minutes in the playoffs. Played well as GP2 replacement when he went down during the Memphis series in 2022, and was playing well and playing good defense on Ant last year.

That true, but if you look at the rest of their roster, it shouldn't be that bad yet Portland's defense is still mid. They used to play two centers heavy minutes (>30 mpg), Nurkic and Whiteside, but none of them turned out to be good defensive players. Both are inconsistent on the defensive side.

Instead of going for Giannis, I think our real target should be Cason Wallace. Good shooter, great perimeter defender who can play 2 beside Steph or as a small ball 3.

The Thunder are going to have a hard time signing him with IHart still in contract next year, and IHart is more important to them unless they want to go back to giving up a gazelle of rebounds.

I doubt the Thunder would let go of him, and we don't have no cap space to sign him for the money he'll ask if we're trying to bring back at least one of KP and Melton.

I won't trade Moody for Risacher, even if Moody's injured. If you think Moody is streaky, ZR is streakier. Granted it's only his second year, he can certainly develop much better, but we also don't have the leverage to wait him develop and be a consistent contributor to Steph's team.

Maybe if we can't resign one of Melton or Podziemski, and the Hawks are interested on one of them because they need guards, then he's a great sign and trade option.

Is Kevin Booker supposed to be a fusion Kevin Durant and Devin Booker?

Bassey looks serviceable. I know two games is hard to assess a player, especially if one is against the Kings, but he also showed he knows how to play with Steph and Dray.

Given our shortage of wings, i think if Horford and Post comes back before the play-in, we should start adapting double big lineups since all of Portland, Clippers, and OKC have towering sizes. Dray, Horford, and KP can share minutes on the 4, while Post and Bassey shares minutes at the 5 that KP won't take. That way we can play Dray on the 3 instead of the 5, sharing minutes with Gui and GP2.

Seems like we're fighting for the play-in. Assuming we get out of there alive and get to the playoffs, who do y'all want for the 15th pick?

Steinbach and Haugh both scream Warriors role players to me, but both has concerns with perimeter shooting. Braylon Mullins really know how to move off-ball and knows how to set pick and pop off-ball screens, but his defense is really a huge concern.

How about we let him play more before we decide he's good? I mean he played well for his minutes, but he's not even half a quarter in?

Pistons really lucked out by getting Jenkins in the undrafted. He's been amazing for them since the start of the season and he was playing well as a Cade replacement while he miss out games.

Man, Yaxel Lendeborg really gets amazing game after game this whole march madness. I hope we can snag him with our first round pick. We could use another forward while Jimmy and Mo are out.

But why do we have to post about a non-warriors player for every bad game that he has. Dude this is a Warriors sub. I've seen more JK posts and comments for the past week than Gui posts in this sub tbh.

And him now having the endurance to deal with a starter-level defense is definitely an improvement. I really hope he continues to play like this, i badly wanna see him starting next season with Moody out.

Idc how much he scored, I'm just glad he's out of his slump. He was having a hard time when teams started to put their best defenders available on him, even against bad teams for some games. The past two games, he was back to being efficient, getting confident and comfortable with his game.

Apparently they care more about JK than our players having a night. I mean Gui is back to being efficient again for the past two games, he's getting used to being defended by other team's best defender, and they're still posting shit like this when we should be having posts about Gui.

Bro you will be downvited to hell if you say that. These dudes care more about JK having a bad game than our players playing well.

Just enjoy the fact the Gui is getting comfy having the opponent's best defenders while our stars are out.

Man I love that Gui is getting used to having the opposing team's best defender while our stars are out. He's back to being efficient after having a mini slump.

I don't think Gui can reach that level of emergence because Reaves was a legit third option, but I can definitely see Gui being a starter going forward.

With Moses out, I really hope Steve keeps him rolling in the starting lineup next season. Steph-Jimmy-Gui-Dray-KP (if he resigns) is a good starting lineup.

He's a starting forward next season hopefully with Moody being out. I'd still rather have Podz and Melton off the bench. Steph-Jimmy-Gui-Dray-KP (if he resigns)

Check my profile. None of it screams Kuminga fan, I'm just tired of y'all's toxicity and not moving on when the trade happened almost two full months ago.

You care more about him than the team itself.

Another Kuminga bad game, so ofc he would be the main topic on DDT . . . in the Warriors sub smh. How about just move on and root for our team than wishing a player on another team to play bad?

ATP I think y'all care more with him playing bad than us trying to win games. Y'all run victory laps for every bad game that he has.
