The trio of Stephen Curry<\/a>, Draymond Green<\/a>, and Jimmy Butler are all in their 30s. Sure, Curry and Butler are still elite players, but the same cannot be said for Green<\/a>.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the Dubs have a talented young man in Jonathan Kuminga<\/a>, but his development has been hindered due to this ongoing experiment.<\/p>\n Former NBA player Keyon Dooling wants the Dubs to completely trust Kuminga following a rocky 2024-25 season<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite Kuminga barely having any clarity over his role under coach Steve Kerr<\/a>, he averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game for the team.<\/p>\n As a result, Dooling urged the Warriors to \u2018bet on the young boy\u2019 rather than dragging their current core of stars.<\/p>\n \u201cBet on the young boy. Instead of doing a sign-and-trade with Kuminga, you will find more minutes for him if Draymond is not on that team.<\/p>\n \u201cYou will change the way that you play, scoring is something that they need, and this guy averaged 14, 15 points in limited minutes. When he gets an opportunity he can score the basketball,\u201d Dooling added.<\/p>\n Green has been on the Warriors for 13 years and has played a crucial role in the team\u2019s four championship runs during this tenure. But it\u2019s obvious that he has served his purpose on the team.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen Draymond is on that team it takes a different identity. With Steph getting older, with Jimmy getting older, I think you bet on the young guys, you can\u2019t just draft talent like that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Dooling makes Tracy McGrady comparison for Jonathan Kuminga<\/p>\n Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady was one of the most prolific scorers in the league<\/a> during the prime of his career. T-Mac\u2019s best years came as a member of the Orlando Magic<\/a>, one season after the Toronto Raptors<\/a> parted ways with him.<\/p>\n Dooling fears the Warriors are going to make the same mistake with Kuminga unless they give Green\u2019s minutes to the young star.<\/p>\n \u201cIt doesn\u2019t come up every day in the draft. They developed the talent, they cultivated the talent, and I think right now, if you trade him, he\u2019ll be like Tracy McGrady was when he got traded from the Raptors.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019ll be on the cusp if not an All-Star, he\u2019ll be a very talented lead scorer in the NBA type guy. He\u2019s that talented,\u201d Dooling concluded.<\/p>\n![\"Photo](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/GettyImages-2214607144-940x627.jpg\")
