Jonathan Kuminga comes to big Warriors realization (but there's still a problem)

Jonathan Kuminga has been a different player over the Golden State Warriors first two preseason games, with the young forward starting to show signs of the sort of player the coaching staff wants him to be on this iteration of the team.

Kuminga's realized he needs to move the ball, rebound and defend to get consistent minutes under Kerr heading into his fifth year, but there's also a problem in that it's coming at the expense of his biggest strengths.

Kuminga's been active defensively so far, recording two blocks in his 33 minutes which included one of the highlights of Wednesday's game when he met Trail Blazers wing Shaedon Sharpe at the summit for an emphatic rejection.
