Perkins: Why didn’t Cole train Kuminga and only train Boger? The latter is only a role player

Recently, Perkins talked about Kumingga on the "Road Trippin".

He said: "They selected Jonathan Cumingga with the No. 7 pick in the 2021 draft. This is a lottery draw. Now I always hear people say that these picks are valuable, and that people are reluctant to give up when making trades. But think about it, the Warriors were in the same draft, I remember choosing Kumingga with the No. 7 pick and James Wiseman. When will we let the Golden State Warriors take responsibility for this?"

"Because a player like Kumingga, he is in the NBA. One of the most athletic players, I believe he is a top talent, and he will continue to improve. Why can't you accept him and train this young man with all your might? Every time he is given the right opportunity, he shows potential and bright spots. In the series against the Timberwolves, Curry was injured and missed. This guy averaged 23 or 24 points per game and shot a high shooting percentage. In my opinion, he is improving in different aspects of the game every season. Is it necessary to say that he is in the field of football quotient or when playing games that are meaningful? Where to improve? There must be. All young players have room to grow, and there is a certain stage to improve their ball quotient. "

" In my opinion, Steve Cole is not doing a good job in getting young players to grow, right? As I have seen, the only young player he has been fully trained is Podjemsky, and Podjemsky can at most be a role player in the league with a long career. But when encountering players who have the potential to be the core of the team, Steve Cole is dragging them The back legs. Why? Why don't you give them a chance? "

"All the great coaches we've met, Popovich has to adapt to this new era. When he first got Aldridge, he had to change the way he used to coach Duncan, Manu and Parker, and he said it was his responsibility. He had to adjust his coaching style. We see Carlisle, as an older generation coach, an experienced person, he adjusted his style and how he communicated with players, accepted the players, and gave them a chance."
