Thank you, warrior! Kuminga, who dunked over Yang Hanshen, has taken off with the Hawks! The trade has been good for everyone.

Originally, I wanted to watch the Hawks vs. Bucks game today, but I usually don't follow them much.

However, upon checking the roster, I lost interest.

Kuminga is out due to inflammation in his left knee.

Since joining the new team, he has played 3 games, performing exceptionally well.

Averaging 26.3 minutes per game, with a field goal percentage as high as 67%, including a three-point shooting percentage of 55%, contributing 21.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.7 steals per game.

The Hawks have won big in these games, with home fans in Atlanta chanting:"Thank you, Warriors!"

Recently, many Warriors fans feel the team gave up on Kuminga too early, which is a pity.

This sentiment is understandable, especially since Porzingis, who was acquired in the trade, isn't playing much. He only played 17 minutes and scored 15 points.

Being available for only a short time after long preparation is his usual pattern... who knows what ailment he has now.

When compared to the 'ex,' the difference is quite stark!

Meanwhile, Dunleavy recently stated he hasn't watched Kuminga's games since the trade. "We always knew he was talented. As long as he does things right, he is an excellent player. We wish him all the best."

How does Brother Di view Kuminga's recent performance?

First, let's not forget that his opponents were the tanking Wizards (twice) and the mediocre Portland Trail Blazers with a sub-.500 record.

Although it must be said, Kuminga's dunk over Yang Hanshen was truly spectacular...

But the quality of these three opponents is clearly lacking.

How will Kuminga fare against stronger teams like the Rockets, Pistons, and Celtics next?

It might be wise to hold off on the praise until we see more.

What could hinder his progress is his inconsistent outside shooting.

However, it's certain that these Hawks are a team well-suited for Kuminga to thrive.

What kind of player is he? Athletic and direct.

In these three games, he frequently showcased fast-break dunks and alley-oops, directly translating his athleticism into scoring efficiency, which is the best proof.

The Hawks are a young team, ranking 2nd in fast-break points, 3rd in pace, and 5th in points off turnovers...

Snyder's tactical core emphasizes fast-paced transition offense and finishing in motion.

Doesn't this perfectly unleash Kuminga's natural instincts?

It's like a lion returning to the forest!

In contrast, with the Warriors, he was indeed trapped in a cage.

A forward who relies on driving to the basket, transition play, and physical attributes inherently clashes with the Kerr system's demands for off-ball movement, playmaking awareness, and outside shooting.

On that team, the core is undoubtedly Curry.

When the Splash Brother is absent, the team has to resort to more isolation plays and attacking the rim, which ironically allowed Kuminga to perform efficiently, highlighting his misfit within the existing system.

"You are great, but we are not a good match!"

Over the years, we've seen many players who couldn't adapt to the Warriors' system.

Especially players with elite physical gifts, who often prefer to rely on their athleticism to solve problems, while tactical thinking and understanding are not their strong suits.

Black players with exceptional physicality often don't need to overthink the game.

Kuminga is not the first, nor will he be the last. Before him, Wiseman is already out of the NBA...

Sometimes it's not that the player is incapable, nor is the system necessarily right or wrong.

It's just not a good fit, that's all.
