Recently, Perkins and Jefferson discussed Kumingga on the Road Trippin program. Perkins said Cole was not doing well in developing young players.

In response to this, Jefferson said: "You sound like a parent. You are really like a parent, really. Everyone says, 'My son is very powerful, he has done this and that.' Everyone is saying, "If I can give my son more room to play, he will definitely do whatever he wants. ”

"I think Kumingga, they have players like Stephen Curry and their style of play. He either has not been able to adapt or has not adjusted his mentality. You are here every day saying that Steve Cole is responsible and that the team must do it. But the best parents will actually say, ‘How can you do better on your own? How can Kumingga do better to better assist this Hall of Fame player? What can Kumingga continue to do to get better? Is it training? Is it an attitude? Is it vitality? ’”

"Think about it, since the Warriors' salary space is there, why are there no team in the league adding a contract to Kuming? There was no whole league, the Hornets didn't open, and the Bulls didn't open either. How many players often receive restricted quotes? Those players who are worse than him, have better achievements than him, and have less talent than him can receive quotes, and sometimes the original team is not matched. But no one wants this player who has won the NBA championship and averaged 17 points per game. "

" Maybe he really needs to grow, and the team has to find ways to help him improve together, but maybe he also needs to improve himself. Child, how can you do better? Right? We all know that 75 players have achieved some success with the Warriors, no matter who they are. Look at Jordan Poole, he has succeeded here. Young players can play in the Warriors. Kevin Looney played well here when he was young, right? When Steve Cole first took over, Klay Thompson and the others were still young players. Draymond Green was only playing in his third season at the time, and I remember whether Clay was in his third or fourth season at the time. ”
