Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors, shared his insights on Jonathan Kuminga's development, expressing skepticism about his readiness to become a star player in the NBA. Despite a promising performance averaging 20.8 points in a playoff series against Minnesota, Kuminga's tenure has been marred by inconsistent play and failure to integrate effectively with teammates, particularly after the Jimmy Butler trade.

Kerr highlighted that his decision-making is motivated by the need to win, stating that given the current roster featuring stars like Steph Curry and Draymond Green, he cannot commit to extensive minutes for Kuminga. He acknowledged Kuminga's talent but emphasized that the fit within the team's dynamics is complex. Kerr urged Kuminga to adopt a role similar to Shawn Marion or Aaron Gordon, focusing on complementary skills rather than seeking to dominate the ball.
