It has been a rough go for Jonathan Kuminga over the past few weeks. The Golden State Warriors have basically made it clear where he stands in the organization, and that’s as nothing more than an emergency option for when they need an additional scoring punch or for when Jimmy Butler is out injured.

Jonathan Kuminga was an opening-night starter for the Golden State Warriors. By the regular-season finale, he had fallen out of the rotation entirely. Kuminga's inconsistent performance contributed to that diminished role, but according to Steve Kerr, it mostly boiled down to fit on a changing roster that suddenly needed to emphasize Jimmy Butler.
