Perkins: The Warriors young players are not developing well, Cole is responsible for this

Basketball

On July 27, as the second-longest active coach in the NBA, Steve Cole led the Warriors to win the championship four times. These champions are centered on Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, supplemented by powerful puzzles from different periods - the most dazzling one is Kevin Durant, a superstar widely regarded as the Warriors' strongest battle during the two consecutive championships in 2017-2018.

However, the Warriors have suffered repeated setbacks in cultivating a new generation of players to continue the competitiveness of the dynasty: Wiseman has never been able to fulfill his talent; although Poole occasionally has highlights, his condition has fluctuated, and his performance on the court is not only unstable, but also has become the fuse of conflicts under Greenfield; and the development of young players such as Moody, Pozimsky and Kumingga has also been mixed.

ESPN commentator and former NBA player Kendrick Perkins recently talked about Kuminga in the "RoadTrippin" podcast and pointed his finger at Cole: "In my opinion, Steve Cole always finds it difficult to let the young people shine. The only rookie who has the full cultivation is Pozimsky, but he will become a high-quality role player at best. When encountering a seedling who truly has the core potential to build a team, Kominga becomes a stumbling block. What is the explanation?"

Kor's attitudes towards Pozimsky and Kuminga have been particularly eye-catching in the past two years. Although both of them have shown potential and flaws, Bozi's playing time has always been stable, while Kumingga's chances of playing are fluctuating - this sharp contrast has become the focus of public opinion.

Discussions around Kumingga have continued to heat up recently - the restricted free agent has not signed yet. In theory, he can still accept quotes from other teams (although matching seats are declining), but the Warriors retain the right to match and can force them to retain people. The 22-year-old striker can also choose to accept the $7.9 million qualification offer from the Warriors and become a full free agent next summer after playing next season.
