Steve Kerr on Jonathan Kuminga’s gameplay of late: I think he’s turning a corner

In total, that’s 31-of-43 for a 72.1 percent clip that gifts Kuminga more points and generates more confidence from Steve Kerr’s coaching staff to put the ball in his hands in key moments. “I just think he’s turning a corner,” Kerr said.

That’s a great ATO, great pass by Green and great job by Kuminga to establish position for the foul. Feels like that was the execution this 4th quarter was waiting for. – 10:52 PM

Steve Kerr brushes off Dennis Schröder’s struggles since arrival: “You trust who the player has been. It’s a tiny sample size.”
“He came to us at a time when we were ice cold. He needs shooting around him. He’s a pick-and-roll player. We were 7-for-38 tonight from 3.” pic.x.com/HkRkXTbzhj12:56 AM

Steve Kerr really likes the free throw ice timeout, especially against a poor free throw shooter.
He probably does not like that Zubac is getting one free throw after scoring through Kevon Looney.
Timeout Warriors with Clippers up 15-9 and looking to extend a 9-0 run. – 10:24 PM

More on this storyline

“This feels different to me,” Kerr said. “It really does. There’s just a different force to his game. Last night, you saw all the times he ran the floor, ran through the catch and attacked the rim. Nine rebounds tonight. The timely plays he made. It just feels different. It feels like he’s figuring out how to impact winning, which is obviously the main thing.” -via New York Times / December 30, 2024
“What I like is he’s not settling for the 17-foot pull-up,” Kerr said. “He’s trying to get to the rim. If it’s not there, he’s kicking it out. Then, late clock, he’s one of the few guys who can create a shot. That’s where the mid-range shot comes into play. The process is better.” -via New York Times / December 30, 2024
But led by a huge performance from Jonathan Kuminga, who tied his career high with 34 points, and timely plays down the stretch from recent addition Dennis Schroder, Golden State escaped with a 109-105 victory. While it was just one win, Draymond Green saw no reason it couldn’t be the beginning of the Warriors getting their season back on track. “When I look at where the season turned, it turned in San Antonio and Brooklyn, those back-to-back games,” Green said, referring to the first two losses of the team’s 3-12 stretch entering Saturday night’s game. “That was the turning point. There’s no reason why this can’t be a turning point to turn it back. -via ESPN / December 29, 2024
