Warriors star Jonathan Kuminga responds to Steve Kerr’s harsh criticism

On By Littum

Golden State Warriors star Jonathan Kuminga has dealt with a very volatile season. He’s dealt with trade rumors, been in the starting lineup and benched numerous times, and was recently called out by Steve Kerr in a press conference.

Kuminga is only 22 years old and hasn’t even been named an All-Star before, but the expectations from him seem to be an NBA Superstar.

“I’m not going to stop coaching (him). The last two games, his field goal attempts, his decision-making has been poor. It’s got to improve,” Kerr said of Kuminga.

On Monday night, Kuminga produced off the bench against the Pacers, putting up 26 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists on 9/16 shooting from the field. Regardless of the pressure, the young star is not phased.

“Sometimes I start, sometimes I don’t,” Kuminga added ESPN. “Doesn’t really affect me. (At) this point in my career, I can’t put my head down and not go out there and play hard or try to be efficient. I just go out there and do my job because I can’t even worry about that kind of thing. The more you worry about that kind of thing, the more you fail.”

After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr admitted he was pleased with Kuminga’s play despite the loss.

Ever since the Warriors started the season with a 12-3 record, everything has been very downhill. The team couldn’t seem to find any answers and found themselves going 3-10 in the process. One would imagine that Kuminga’s name is going to be mentioned even more in trade rumors as he tries to brush it off.
