Overlooked in the loss to the Clips and the playin game was that the Warriors didn't play Kuminga at all despite him being completely healthy. Insiders including Tim Kawakami report that while players still love JK, there's not really any push in the lockerroom to defend him or say he should have played. In the last few games Kuminga has been notably out of sorts, taking way too many 3's and appearing selfish.
Kerr politely said it was a fit decision, that Butler, Kuminga and Draymond together don't "fit" because they need more spacing. Which is true but interesting because what it means is Kuminga can only play when either Butler or Draymond is sitting.
Will be interesting to watch, I'm still a fan but his game of late was not good, he's under 20% from 3 since he came back from injury and he's shooting way too many 3's.
Kerr said it doesn't mean he won't play going forward including against Memphis but lots of people seem to think it is probably a bad sign for Kuminga's future with the team

What do you mean? Both the Grizz and GSW can still get in. Whoever loses that game plays the winner or Mavs/Kings.
Grizz or Warriors for the 7/8 game. Loser of 7/8 matchup could still lose out to the 9/10. Grizz or warriors should be in over the Mavs and Kings, this could be where we see the play-in hurts one of the better teams of the 7,8,9,10 spots.

Ah… misunderstood your post.
I get caught up while working, and sometimes type things out without being clear. LOL

I think it's the opposite....for now (poor mans Marion). Amazing athlete but teams don't respect him on the perimeter because he can't shoot the 3 to save his life. He needs to develop that first. He can do it. Marion didn't really consistently shoot over 30% with the Suns until year 3. Then he could at least keep teams honest. Seems really important in today's 3 point shooting league. I LOVE his athleticism though. It's off the charts. I would take him here in a heartbeat.

He’s already blazed a path past Marion as a shot creator, handles and passer and is a legit lock down defender. It’s only a matter of time before he dwarfs him as a shooter.
I believe he can totally develop the outside shot (at least enough to keep teams honest). Some of his moves around the bucket are beyond sick.
Go Lakers !!
