There is only one timeline, and for as much as Mike Dunleavy Jr. believes in the Warriors’ young talent, hope sometimes has an expiration date.
Between the three of them, Poole is the one who has got the job done as a champion, earning him a four-year contract extension last offseason that guarantees him $123 million. At the time he was coming off a year where coaches and teammates were clamoring for him to the NBA’s Most Improved Player after averaging 18.5 points on 44.8/36.4/92.5 shooting splits.
Poole did average 20.4 points at 23 years old, a number that can’t be overlooked. Neither can his field goal percentage dropping to 43 percent, his 3-point percentage falling to 33.6 percent and his turnovers per game rising to 3.1. Poole doesn’t miss games, played through an ankle injury in the playoffs, but also was unplayable at times when Steve Kerr needed him.
Kuminga is the mystery, the mega athlete who might have all the skills but hasn’t put it all together mentally and physically at times. When Andrew Wiggins missed two months last season tending to a family matter, Kuminga averaged 13.4 points on 56.3 percent shooting and 44.4 percent from 3-point range, playing 24.1 minutes per game. Kuminga then received three DNPs in the playoffs and played 6.1 minutes a night.
