Cole: Kuminga has really become very, very mature. He understands the needs of the team better.

Today's NBA opener, the Warriors played away to the Lakers 119-109.

After the game, Warriors coach Cole accepted an interview with reporters. Talking about Kuminga, he praised: "He has become very, very mature now. He has a very good training camp, and he now understands the needs of our team better."

In this campaign, Kuminga, who has confirmed his contract, played in ideal form. Although his defense against Doncic was not very good, he was not impatient on the offensive end, conducted calmly, finished decisively, and contributed multiple offensive rebounds. In the end, he scored 17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal on 6 of 11 shots.
