Stephen A. Smith Says Jonathan Kuminga Is ‘Shortchanging’ Warriors, Lacks Discipline
The Golden State Warriors just proved that they are still able to win a title. Adding to their Big 3 (Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green), the Warriors have All-Star Andrew Wiggins and some interesting young prospects, like James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga especially.
Fans and media both are very high on Kuminga, who’s been able to show what great player he can become.
The 19-year-old averaged 9.3 points on 51.3 percent shooting in 16.9 minutes per game and is still developing his game. Media personality Stephen A. Smith however, now reported on First Take, that he’s hearing Kuminga is “shortchanging” the Warriors due to a reported lack of discipline:
“I’m worried about Kuminga. I’m hearing too many things about him off the court in terms of his head. The level of discipline he lacks. You understand?
Some of the foolishness. I’m not getting in his personal business. I’m not saying nothing like that. I’m talking attitude, I’m not talking actions. I’m saying that attitude, the level of focus, commitment, determination, just putting your head down. doing the work.
I’m hearing that he’s shortchanging the Warriors in that regard, and he gotta get his act together, because I’m a Jonathan Kuminga fan.”
