1) I have always liked Kuminga and thought he just needed some time and the opportunity. His stats looked good but I didn't really feel him impact the game. Not sure he is worth the 30 plus million he will be looking for this summer. Still young and talented, but less sure now.
2) I loved Podz last year. He was always doing things and being productive. Now it looks like he is always doing something but not productive doing it. His minutes are down and I wonder if last year was the real player or if it is this year? Maybe a little bit of both. GSW were thinking of him as a core part of a deal this summer.
3) Feels like GS need a starting tier center. Tough to play their style though. I wonder if those dinosaur centers (Jonas, Vucevic) or the injured ones (Williams) would interest GS. Just like Podz Jackson-Davis has come back to earth. Looney is not a starting center at this point.
4) Draymond Green is shooting almost 40% from three. When did that happen? His form looks good too. He made some huge plays on defense in the fourth (just like last game), GSW offense just didn't take advantage of them.
As to 3), a lot of fans on GSW boards are pining for Vucevic. They think the fit makes sense as he can shoot 3s and can rebound. I can see why they'd want him.
