The Golden State Warriors have gotten great play out of Jonathan Kuminga so far this season. The 23-year-old has been sharp in all facets of his game, which may be thanks to the mentorship he has received from Jimmy Butler.
Kuminga has played far more under control to open the season, earning greater trust from Steve Kerr which has been signified in starting all four games despite the previously awkward fit between he, Butler and Draymond Green.
Butler's mentorship has helped Kuminga reach a new level
Butler and Kuminga combined to play huge roles in last week's season-opening victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, with the veteran forward speaking on his relationship with his younger teammate following the game.
