The Golden State Warriors have primarily relied on the immense talents of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green to be successful in the NBA since 2015.
However, every dynasty’s time to dominate the league comes to an end sooner or later.
Fortunately for the Warriors, they have a new crop of stars ready on the team to take over in the future.
Among them, Jonathan Kuminga undoubtedly has the biggest potential to become a superstar for the Warriors.
This season, head coach Steve Kerr has finally given him extra minutes, and since then, Kuminga has taken his game to the next level.
While many believe Kuminga’s greatest strength is his scoring ability, the 21-year-old has slowly developed a knack for facilitating for his teammates as well.
It was proven by looking at Kuminga’s playmaking stats via Golden State of Mind on Twitter.

The extreme growth has been in every facet of the game.

The stats show that Kuminga had just 27 assists in the first 27 games of the 2023-24 NBA season.
However, Kuminga has dished out 27 dimes in his last six games of the season.
Adding this aspect to his game allows the players on the Warriors team to focus on other duties.
Moreover, it takes the pressure off Curry to play the role of a primary point guard.
After all, Curry has never been a traditional point guard and relies mostly on his scoring prowess to win games for the team.
For the season, Kuminga is averaging a solid 15.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game for the Warriors in 56 appearances.
