Kuminga averages 21+7 after changing teams! Warriors GM responds he hasn't watched the games, analyst criticizes coach Kerr

On March 5th Beijing time, since joining the Hawks, Kuminga has played in 3 games, averaging 21.3 points and 7.7 rebounds with a field goal percentage of 67.7% and a three-point percentage of 55.6%, showing hot form. The Hawks won all 3 of these games. According to local Bay Area media reports, Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. has not followed Kuminga's performance since trading him away.

When asked about Kuminga in a recent interview, Dunleavy said, "I haven't watched a single game yet. We've been very busy with various matters here. I've always believed that JK (Kuminga) is talented. As long as he plays the right way and does the right things, he is an excellent player. We wish him all the best, and I think he can play very well. He is very talented and had many key games, clutch moments, and outstanding performances during his time with the Warriors. We know he has that ability."

For the Warriors, the situation is somewhat painful, as Kristaps Porzingis, acquired in the trade for Kuminga, will miss his sixth consecutive game. However, he traveled with the team to Houston and is expected to be out for tomorrow's game against the Rockets.

ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins criticized Steve Kerr's handling of Kuminga this season on his show. Perkins believes that Kerr did not give Kuminga enough opportunities before his departure.

"We all know Kuminga has a high ceiling. Stephen Curry knows it, Draymond Green knows it, Jimmy Butler knows it," Perkins said. "The only person who didn't believe in him was Steve Kerr."
