After Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson or even Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga will he be the next player drafted by the Warriors to become an All-Star?
“ It is the objective. Yes, that's the goal. I always dreamed of being an All-Star » thus ensures the person concerned.
To make the story even more beautiful, the first appearance in All-Star Game by Jonathan Kuminga could fall as early as next season. The year when the All-Star Weekend will take place on the side of… San Francisco !
“ Obviously it's going to be held here next year and that gives me a lot of motivation to keep doing what I have to do. And especially keep winning, because you know that things like that come with victories, by playing well » adds the Congolese, still on the podcast microphone Dubs Talk.
Surfing on its beautiful dynamics of 2024
Still, the competition will be very, very tough for Jonathan Kuminga in the “frontcourt” in the West. However, if he continues to progress, on his momentum for the year 2024 (20.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists on average since January 12, at 55% on shoots, 39% on 3-points and 79% on throws …), he can really make the All-Star Game an achievable goal, like Andrew Wiggins in 2022.
“ It's right there in front of me »continues the 21-year-old winger, about his dream. “ It's just up to me to go get it and work every day to. »
It therefore already seems far away, this period when Jonathan Kuminga had lost confidence in Steve Kerr and seemed close to demanding his departure from Golden State. The Californian franchise can in any case thank Draymond Green, who also saw him finish as an All-Star in 2022.
“ He's going to be very good. He can become a regular All-Star in this league. It depends on him and the work he will do. But he has the qualities, the weapons, he sees the game well… If he works, he has the possibility of becoming a regular All-Star » then assured the interior to the four All-Star selections.
