Warriors forward Draymond Green disagreed with head coach Steve Kerr’s comments about young forward Jonathan Kuminga, saying he hasn’t seen enough to conclude that Kuminga can’t play 38 minutes and help the team win with the current roster.

There have been some rumors swirling around about a possible trade involving young Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga, following a significant change in his role after a mid-season Jimmy Butler trade.

The potential trade now seems even more realistic after Warriors head coach Steve Kerr openly stated that they can’t win with Kuminga playing 38 minutes per game given the current roster.

However, Warriors star Draymond Green voiced his disagreement with Kerr on The Draymond Green Show podcast.

Green said you can’t make assumptions about something that hasn’t been tested on the court, though he also reaffirmed his belief in Steve Kerr.

“Now, do I agree with that? I don’t know that I necessarily agree, because you just haven’t seen it,” Green said in response to Kerr’s comments.

“I’m not of the mindset that something doesn’t work just because you haven’t had a chance to see much of it,” he added. “But in saying that, I think when you look at Steve, one thing he’s shown as a coach is that he’s going to make the decision he thinks is best, regardless of what comes with it.”

Draymond also recalled Kerr’s decision not to give Jayson Tatum big minutes during the Olympics.

Jonathan Kuminga has shown flashes of great potential this season, averaging 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game, making him an intriguing target for many NBA teams entering the offseason.
