Warriors Champion Shares Harsh Truth for Jonathan Kuminga

The Golden State Warriors are stuck between trying to contend for a championship while also positioning for their post-dynasty era. While management has shifted a bit from the two-timeline plan that was very much still in effect last season, there is still a balancing act being done by the organization to preserve their youth and title window at the same time.

This is a very hard needle to thread, and the Warriors are finding that out the hard way, currently sitting outside of the play-in picture. During a recent podcast episode, Warriors champion Andrew Bogut shared a harsh truth for Jonathan Kuminga, one of Golden State's young players who is impacted by their current situation.

"It's such a hard art form to try to develop young guys but also try to win games at the same time," Bogut said. "Not many teams can do that. Kuminga is a guy that is super athletic, can get his nose above the rim, but he's a guy that needs the ball in his hands... You have Steph Curry next to you, you're not taking his touches. Klay is still Klay, regardless. Then you have [Chris Paul] off the bench... Where do you think you're going to fit in Kuminga?"
