He’s not just a scorer. He rebounds and plays hard on defense. JK is not that.

Steve Kerr is not good at developing young talent. If you don’t believe me look at the Warriors.

They played Kuminga prior to getting Butler if you recall. He was terrible. I know he thinks he is a $30M per year player, but he never looked like it when he was on the floor. Admit it: When he shot from any distance and made it, you were surprised. Don’t lie.

This all falls on Steve Kerr because he could’ve played Kuminga now he needs him in the worst way..
