According to The Mercury News reporter Danny Emerman, the Golden State Warriors have tried out for three players who are about to appear in this year's NBA draft, namely LJ Cryer, senior backcourt star LJ Cryer, big five wing player Trey Galloway from Indiana University and senior fourth forward Arthur Kaluma from the University of Texas.

Karuma was born in March 2002 and is 23 years old. According to physical test data in the G League Elite Training Camp last year, his bare feet are 200cm tall, his wingspan is 215.9cm, his standing height is 262.9cm, and his weight is 100.4kg. In the NCAA field this season, Karuma, who transferred from Kansas State to join the University of Texas, played 33 times in total, with averaging 29.3 minutes per game, averaging 12.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.9 blocks. She also had 1.6 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. She shot 46.2%, three-point shooting percentage 35.9%, and 78.4% from free throws.

Karuma is a forward player with great physical talent and full of energy on the court. He has good off-ball movement and basket scoring ability on the offensive end, he also has certain outside shooting threats, and he also has quite good rebound protection skills on the defensive end. However, Karuma is obviously older. He has been working hard in the NCAA field for many years and has replaced many teams, but he has never shown a fast enough progress. It can even be said that he has been standing still. Some of his shortcomings have not been improved well. It seems that his potential and future development will make people feel very worried. Moreover, although his abilities are relatively comprehensive, he also lacks a particularly outstanding skill, and his various abilities seem to be at a relatively average level.

Judging from the current situation, Karuma's draft market is not ideal, and it should be difficult for him to have the chance to successfully enter the NBA draft this year, and he is likely to become a undraft. However, for the Warriors, Karuma is also a tall forward player. His physical talent is worthy of recognition, and he can also play some role in both offense and defense. If Karuma ends up losing in the next NBA draft, he may also be a strong contender for two-way contracts given his all-round and versatile nature. I wonder how Karuma performed in this trial. Can he impress the Warriors uniform group and win more opportunities for himself?
