Gary Payton II thrived in an unorthodox role in the NBA Finals. Jonathan Kuminga is following his lead and rounding out the Warriors’ rotation.
It’s easy to forget in the afterglow of victory, but the NBA Finals were not a straightforward affair for the Golden State Warriors, either.
But once Payton II was given the job, he was plus-34 in the final two games of the series, a team-high. But it was Payton II’s cutting ability on offense — his commitment to fulfilling a role in the Warriors’ ball-moving system — that had been most missed by the Dubs. The short guy perfectly inhabited what Golden State wanted from a depth forward.In those contests, against Minnesota Sunday and Dallas Tuesday, Kuminga has seven made baskets at the rim off cuts and in-the-flow-of-the-offense drives.
