That’s the problem. He isn’t, no matter how bad.
This movie is like the Rocky Horror Picture Show where everyone knows all the lines.

Are we satisfied with Pat Spencer as the team's 3rd ball handler?

There's a really good player in Kuminga if he could reign in his need to force his offense. With a team with Curry, Draymond, Butler and Podz, he should be able to score off the pass a ton if he were to dive in those open lanes like for instance what Moody does.

As ringing an endorsement as can be expected.

He needs to watch Butler. Watch Giannis. How do they get to the bucket? By being quick but never rushing. Kuminga rushes too much still. He needs to realize he's naturally fleet enough and strong enough that he never needs to rush.

Also watching Doc Rivers' misery on the sidelines is entertainment unto itself.

I would guess that for most of his life he's been bigger and athletically better than basically everyone he played against until the NBA and his tendencies are that he can just beat whoever, but he can't just do that in the NBA. It is hard to change that mentality and what you're talking about with Butler or Giannis, that takes a great amount of work and time to retrain your tendencies. If he takes a leap, I doubt it happens in the next couple of years. Right now, from what I'm seeing, he's still a project 4 years into his NBA career and Golden State has to figure out if they're willing to pay him and hope he makes that leap fairly soon (which could happen).
