On May 23, Warriors coach Cole expressed his personal opinion on Kumingga's position and role in the team in an interview with the media.

Cole said: "This is a tricky problem, because Kumingga is obviously talented, he is eager to play a more important role and wants to get more playing time. And for me, my task is to lead the team to win. For now, in our current lineup, I can't say let him play 38 minutes, and then expect to piece together the lineup in this way to win."

Kumingga played 8 games during the playoffs this season, averaging 23.4 minutes per game, averaging 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 48.4%, 40.0% of three-pointers and 71.0% of free throw percentage. But he has been DNP by Cole in 4 games.

Previously, former NBA player Cousins ​​said when evaluating Kohl's use of Kumingga that Kohl did not handle it well in cultivating young and talented players. For many years, only Poole played out, but he still failed to stay.
