Green commended Kuminga for how he responded to questions about his future with the Warriors. Kuminga showed his appreciation for head coach Steve Kerr for helping him get to where he is today, which, according to Green, was "such a responsible, great, well-thought answer."

However, when Steph suffered a hamstring strain in Game 1 of the West semis against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the 6'8" forward showed he kept himself ready for when his number was called. JK immediately stepped up and averaged 24.3 points on 55 percent shooting in Games 2 to 5.

Jonathan Kuminga is entering a crucial point in his NBA career as he approaches restricted free agency this summer. After another postseason disappointment for the Golden State Warriors, much attention has turned to the future of the 22-year-old forward.
