Jonathan Kuminga has improved so much…

Jonathan kaminga has been on an absolute terar as of lately averaging 15 and a half points on 60% shooting and 43% Behind The Arc in the last nine games there’s so many factors that may have influenced this recent play from him such as Steve CER finally playing him

Consistent minutes which has been mainly due to the Draymond suspension and Wiggins getting benched you could also say that the coaching staff is finally running the correct lineups for kaminga in the game as he’s spending way more time on the floor with curry and Clay which spaces the floor for him to attack

The paint also they are just running more plays for him such as feeding him in the post and running more pick and rolls with him finally I think Curry’s leadership has done a lot to raise kinga’s confidence as a player remember when kaminga didn’t play the entire first half versus the Trailblazers it

Was Steph who was talking to him on the bench to keep his head up after kaminga exploded for 13 points in 17 minutes to help the Warriors win the game in the second half Curry praised kinga’s approach to the game saying if he doesn’t do what he did Stay Ready show

Maturity we lose this game fast forward to kinga’s clutch stop against Tatum to force overtime it was once again who walked up to kaminga this time to Hype him up and congratulate him for his effort no matter if kaminga was at a low or high point it was Steph who was

Always there for him having a top 10 player of all time constantly in your ear can do wonders for your confidence anyways while we can say these factors influence kinga’s recent play kaminga himself has taken really strong strides in the Improvement of his own game let’s

Check it out over these last nine games the strongest Improvement of kinga’s game has no doubt been his decision-making kaminga has really kept his game simple he attack the paint if he has a mismatch or is on an island with a Defender he has really taken initiative of driving to the basket when

He’s in the open floor or when he thinks he can bully his defender in this play kaminga literally waves off clay and gets help off his Steph’s screen which leaves him to ISO against Jaylen Brown which results in a nicel looking dunk most of the time kaminga has utilized

His strength to play bully ball which usually ends up with a high percentage shot if this was at the beginning of the Season kaminga would be spamming spin moves and probably put up a tough fadea away but now he realizes that all he has to do is go Baseline and power his way

To the rim kaminga has also gotten some really good spacing when he’s on the floor as of recently just being in a lineup that can shoot really helps his offense in this lineup versus the Wizards kaminga is surrounded by shooting with psky Paul shich and clay out on the perimeter he’s got Cory

Kissper on him who he can easily attack so he does Mike muscala is unable to help because that would end up in an open charge three so kaminga is able to convert a strong finish to the rim it’s good spacing like this that can really maximize kinga’s game one thing All

Season he’s been doing well though has been his ability to draw contact and get to the free throw line this year he’s averaging a career high 3.6 attempts per game and something tells me that will only continue to go up one thing you’ll have to work on is actually knocking

Down his free throws as he’s only shooting 65% at the line he started really well this season shooting 75% in his last 12 games but has only been shooting 52% since then which Is Not Great by any means he needs to do better moving on kinga’s improved decision-

Making has also improved his playmaking he’s been he’s been making the right pass every time to the open shooter and he’s been passing up good shots for even better shots his ability to be patient in the paint and keep his head up when he drives has led to him finding the

Open shooter in the corner once again this is where playing with Stephen Clay helps tremendously because now kaminga has more freedom in the paint and if help comes he’s got two of the greatest Shooters of all time to kick it out to furthermore he’s also realized that a

Simple pass is often the best pass and he’s not trying to do too much in this play kaminga could easily take the shot but he kicks it out to Clay for the higher percentage shot although it seems like a basic decision these kinds of decisions can affect the game in the

Long run because he’s been sticking to making the easy passes he’s also lowered his turnovers only averaging one per game in the last nine another facet he has looked great in has been his defense he’s been much more active on the perimeter such as playing the passing

Lanes which has led to him getting some Breakaway fast break dunks he’s also been really good guarding 101 which has led to some really clutch defensive possessions such as being able to stay on Tatum to get a good enough contest and also his recovery effort contest on

Mel Bridges judging by his body type there was never a doubt that kaminga couldn’t be a good Defender and it seems like he’s finally getting the pieces connected it’s great to see Steve K trusting kaminga to guard the best player on the other team it probably gives kaminga a lot of confidence lastly

Kaminga has been solid on the boards he had a few greatl looking putback attempts against the Wizards Friday night that resulted in a putback dunk and a putback layup while I don’t think he’s at the level of rebounding as Brandon psky or even Moses Moody his efforts still shouldn’t be unnoticed but

I think this is facet of his game where I actually do think he can be better though imagine if kaminga who has freak athletic abilities and hops had the type of drive on the boards as psky we might be seeing a guy that’s averaging five offensive rebounds per game that’s the

Next part of his game that I would like to see him improve in he’s shown at times he can be a beast on the boards it’s just a matter of being consistent at it with how well kaminga has been playing he’s really making a strong case

To stay in the starting line up once Draymond comes back what’s so great about this year’s Warriors team is that there’s so many players who deserve to be getting play played lots of minutes and that has given Steve cerr lots of options to test out lineups and close

Out games with who has played the best I think Steve cerr has done a better job with handling the rotation as of lately as he’s not been afraid to play the younger players more even at the expense of the veterans minutes this is what the team always needed the competition for

Minutes has led to the Improvement of the team’s overall performance if players know that their minutes can be taken away by someone working harder than them then they are more likely to play with urgency and put more effort into the game we saw that with Klay Thompson who was benched in the second

Half of the Suns Steve cerr basically sent the message that clay needed to be better and that he shouldn’t take his starting role in minutes for granted ever since clay has been playing the best basketball he has this season anyways I’m excited to see Jonathan kaminga continue his great play it’s

Quite inspiring how he stayed matured impatient all season and he has finally been rewarded for it with that being said I hope you guys enjoyed this video feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment section down below and thanks for watching and go Warriors

So happy to see JK gaining the trust of Steve Kerr!
