Jonathan Kuminga’s biggest concern in the offseason was his contract negotiations. Now that an agreement has been reached, the Warriors forward’s concerns shift elsewhere.
Kuminga was asked in an interview with Andscape’s Marc J. Spears if anything about his NBA future made him nervous.
“The biggest thing about it is just to work and just get better every day and be a winner,” Kuminga told Spears. “No matter where I’ll be, no matter if I’m going to be here or they might ship me somewhere else. I just want to get to wherever I’ll get, or be here and just be involved and win and impact right away. That is my biggest concern.”
The 23-year-old forward is clearly focused on improving and helping the Warriors in their title aspirations. His fluctuating role and uncertain future in Golden State don’t make that easy.
“I don’t worry about things like that. I just try to get better. You never know with this life,” Kuminga told Spears. “It’s the NBA. One day you’re going to be here. One day you’re going to be somewhere else.”
Despite the unknown, Kuminga remains confident.
“I have too much confidence. And my confidence don’t just come from [inside] because I work towards it and I see how better I get every other year. The sky is the limit,” Kuminga said. “I can’t predict it, but I believe in God and I trust my work and I know I have a long way to go.”
Entering his fifth NBA season, Kuminga has averaged 12.5 points per game with a 50.7 field goal percentage in his young career.
His scoring production has increased since his rookie season, averaging at least 15 points per game in each of his last two seasons.
