Recently, it was reported that Warriors player Kuminga is seeking a 5-year, $224 million maximum salary contract extension. This news surprised the fans, after all, Kuminga's performance has not yet reached such a high level.

First of all, it needs to be affirmed that Kuminga has indeed made great progress last season. He successfully transformed from a substitute to a starter, and his average data has also improved. In terms of technology, Kuminga is strong, has excellent physical fitness and athletic ability, has excellent finishing ability at the basket on the offensive end, and can also defend multiple positions on the defensive end. But he also has some problems, such as low three-point and mid-range shooting percentages on the offensive end, insufficient ball control and passing awareness, and defensive awareness and rebounding ability need to be improved.

Overall, it is difficult for Kuminga to play a core role in the team at this stage. Many players in the same rookie class have completed maximum salary extensions, but these players are all non-saleable and core of their respective teams without exception. In comparison, Kuminga's performance and status have not yet reached such a high level. Therefore, a 5-year, $224 million maximum salary extension contract may be a bit too high for him.

However, Kuminga still has good talent and potential. As long as he can continue to improve steadily in the future, especially in ball handling, passing and shooting, he will have a chance to get a maximum salary contract extension next season or at some point in the future. From the current point of view, his strength is not enough to serve as the future core of the team, but as long as he can continue to develop, Kuminga may still become an indispensable player for the Warriors in the future.
