The Warriors didn't trade their core players in free agency this year. In particular, the Warriors owner has a high regard for two young men on the Warriors: Podzemski and Kuminga. The Warriors have always given young people a lot of room to grow, and Kerr's system is also very suitable for young people to grow. To a certain extent, this also contributes to some of their self-confidence, but at the same time, many young people are overconfident in their evaluation.
According to a reporter from the front, Kuminga is asking for a $224 million contract with the Warriors. Almost all fans were surprised when they saw the news. Many fans think that now it seems that any player is eligible for a contract with a maximum salary. Not to mention that Kuminga does not have the ability to take charge on his own right now. His average per game stats and honors alone are not eligible to ask for a max salary contract. In many people's traditional understanding, the average points per game for a maximum salary contract should be around 25 points, and at least an All-Star, if the team is an indispensable player,
Kuminga has only been able to contribute an average of 16+5 per game this season, and this is still the data played next to Curry, if Curry does not create opportunities for him to help him attract defense, he may become very inefficient. Many fans believe that the reason why he didn't get a max contract is because he doesn't have a very comprehensive skill set at the moment. We can't deny that Kuminga has decent impact and physicality. But his technique is not very skilled, and even a little rough. For example, he does not have a stable projection ability on the outside, and his singles skills are also very single, and more importantly, he has no overall vision and no vision on the court, which makes it difficult for many fans to believe that he will become a leader in the future.
In other words, Ku Mingjia's current data is basically the same as Wiggins, and even his skills and abilities are not as good as Wiggins, but he wants a contract with a maximum salary of 224 million. This is indeed difficult for many fans to understand. If Kuminga can be on his own with the Warriors in the future, he can enter the All-Star team and contribute an average of 25+ data per game. Maybe at that time, he is qualified to ask for a contract with a maximum salary, and many fans think that his current level may be worthy of a contract with an annual salary of more than 20 million.
I don't know if the fans have found a pattern. The young people under the Kerr system, the young people in the atmosphere of the Warriors, always seem to have a kind of arrogance, always a kind of blind confidence. For example, Jordan Poole before, and Kuminga now. Even last season Podzemski revealed some blind self-confidence. Many fans believe that this may be due to Kerr's overly open coaching style. There are also many fans who believe that Curry's good temper is caused by it. Since Curry doesn't have any superstar shelves, he doesn't have any emotional deterrent. Therefore, young people are very easy to breed some blind self-confidence and arrogance in such soil. I wonder what the fans think?
