Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr recently talked about Jonathan Kuminga's performance in an interview, and believed that the young forward's running ability is a very important trait, which will also bring opportunities for layups or tip-ins.

In the earlier NBA preseason game between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers, Jonathan Kuminga contributed 13 points and 6 assists for the Golden State Warriors. In the end, the Golden State Warriors lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 116-126.

However, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr said, "I am very satisfied with Jonathan Kuminga's attitude and effort. He ran actively in this game. In the third quarter, he sprinted several times and opened up the defensive space, giving us the opportunity to shoot from behind."

"That ability is really key for us, especially his speed, which is a very important attribute because those runs can lead to layups or putbacks. So when he's sprinting like that and the ball is moving, he can really utilize his run ability."

Steve Kerr continued, "Speaking of Jonathan Kuminga, Stephen Curry and Bodemski, now we have a 5 position that can stretch the floor. Actually, there are two, Quinten Post and Al Horford. I am particularly looking forward to seeing the partnership between Jonathan Kuminga and Al Horford. Al Horford has the ability to protect the rim and is an excellent defender. Even at the age of 39, he is still a very good defender."

In addition, when talking about his role in the team, Jonathan Kuminga said, "I don't want to waste energy, I choose not to ask, because no one will tell me the result. So just let it go, I just need to find my own way to play, and when I come on the court, I will work hard to defend and create opportunities. I don't have a fixed role, I just make sure I defend well and run actively."
