Jefferson: Kumingga and Jaylen Green both need to change the environment, just like Harden of the Thunder

Recently, on the "Road Trippin '", Perkins and Jefferson discussed the deadlock between Kumingga and the Warriors.

Perkins: "What do you think of the player Cumingga? Where do you think his ceiling is? Watch him play, do you think he can become an All-Star? Can he enter the best team? Or is he a role player with a good career?"

Jefferson: "None of them. I look at him, and I can find some similarities. What I think of is Jaylen Green, who is in the Rockets now, is not right, now in the Suns. Their talent is top-level, absolutely top-level talent, but he still needs to spend more time learning how to play and improve his ball quotient. The talent is there - if you are the Rockets, why trade this young player who can average 20 points per game? He is the second-tier pick, his skills and talent are growing, and he is heading towards a scorer who averages 20 points per game Development. You can't just give up on him like this, really can't. But Jaylen Green still has a lot of room for growth and maturity, but his talent is unquestionable. I think Kumingga is the same. "

" Let's talk about Stephen Curry, he is one of the most unique teammates, and he has a 'smooth state' of playing with him - that's a tacit understanding, a prediction, and can see the initiative before things happen, a sense of 'can't stop the ball, you must keep shifting'. The fluency of playing with Curry is not available to other players. Therefore, your basketball IQ must be quite high, because you have to find a way to make this once-in-a-century superstar play its maximum value. "

"I don't think Kumingga's ball quotient is bad, but I don't Know what he wants to prove. Curry is running all the time, you have to find him and pass the ball to her. If you are thinking about proving yourself, and Curry is moving constantly, these two things are not combined. "

"We all know that Curry's style of play, his running, and the mobile offensive system that cooperates with Draymond Green - Draymond's dribble hand-handed hand is amazingly fast, passing and cutting are equally fast. Their mobile offense is almost a smooth state without thinking. If a young player wants to prove himself in this smooth system at the same time, it will be very, very difficult. "

" So, if he can play in an environment that allows him to grow and play freely, I think he can average 18 to 2 per game A scorer with 0 points is at the All-Star level. But in the Warriors system, this environment is not the most suitable one. Let me give you another last example: When Joe Johnson was in the Suns, I remember that he averaged about 15 points per game. Although he averaged 30 minutes per game, his performance was pretty good. Later, Atlanta signed him and gave him enough ball rights. He became a single Joe, who averaged 25 points per game. James Harden was only the sixth man in the Thunder, but he became a superstar when he was at the Rockets. "

" So maybe Kumingga really needs to change the environment. I think the Warriors' style of play is not in line with his personal goals, and he has won the championship, so what he is pursuing now may not only team honors, but also that (larger) contract. "
