The defensive attitude is quite positive, and the Warriors rising star adjusts his focus when his condition is not good.

In the previous NBA regular season, the Golden State Warriors easily defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 98-79 at home. After this game, the Warriors successfully won two consecutive victories, with a current record of 4 wins and 1 loss; while the Clippers ended their two-game losing streak, with a current record of 2 wins and 2 losses.

In this game, the Warriors' rising star Jonathan Kuminga was not in his best condition, but he still remained clear-headed and calm enough and played his value on both offense and defense. Kuminga played for 26 minutes and 7 seconds, shooting 4 of 11 from the field, 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and 0 of 1 free throw. He scored 9 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal. He also had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus of +9. Kuminga's efficiency on the offensive end is average, but he also controls the number of his shots very well and does not play excessively on the court, and he also shows a certain passing ability and support ability. Kuminga is also willing to defend the opponent's core players on the defensive end, and his defensive effect is also good. Overall, Kuminga did not fully display his characteristics in this game, but he also appropriately adjusted his playing style and made the decision that was most beneficial to the team. He also made his own contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season last season, Kuminga was affected by injuries in 82 games and only played 47 times in total, averaging 24.3 minutes per game and averaging 24.3 minutes per game. 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.4 blocks, 1.5 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. The shooting percentage was 45.4%, the three-point shooting percentage was 30.5%, and the free throw percentage was 66.8%. In the playoffs, affected by the team's coaching staff's tactical arrangements, Kuminga only got 8 playing opportunities in 12 games, averaging 23.4 minutes per game. He averaged 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also had 1.6 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 48.4% from the field, 40% from the three-point range, and 71% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Kuminga has played a total of 5 times, averaging 30.2 minutes per game. He averages 16.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also has 2.4 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. He shoots 53.7% from the field, 43.8% from the three-point range, and 76.2% from the free throw line.

It must be said that Kuminga's performance so far since the start of the season has been impressive. It seems that his scoring data has not improved significantly, but his performance in passing and support far exceeded everyone's expectations. Kuminga's stability in outside shooting has also improved a lot, and his concentration on the defensive end has also improved significantly. Everyone thought before that Kuminga was not a very smart player, and he would not make the right choices many times on the court. However, judging from the situation this season, Kuminga seems to have greatly improved his shortcomings. With Kuminga's performance, the Warriors were able to renew his contract with a two-year contract worth a total of $46.8 million, with part of the second year being a team option. It was a huge profit.
