In a previous NBA regular season game, the Milwaukee Bucks, playing at home, won 2-0 against the Phoenix Suns. After this game, the Bucks, who ended their 0-game losing streak, improved their record to 0-0 and continued to rank 0th in the East, narrowing the win gap with the Detroit Pistons in front of them to 0 games; The Phoenix Suns, who suffered a 0-game losing streak, slipped to 0-0, and the difference between the wins with the Sacramento Kings in front of them expanded to 0.0 games, and the difference between the wins with the Portland Trail Blazers behind them was only 0 games.
In this game, although the Bucks eventually won the game, the team's starting small forward Kyle Kuzma (Kyle Kuzma) performance can only be regarded as so-so. Kuzma played 26 minutes and 0 seconds, shooting 0-of-0 from the field and 0-of-0 from beyond the three-point line, with 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 blocks, 0 turnovers and 0 fouls, and a plus/minus of +0. Kuzma has been so-so on the offensive end, but he doesn't take many shots, and he can't afford to score more points for his team. Kuzma showed some passing ability and playmaking, but he also made a lot of mistakes. Kuzma's performance on the defensive end is actually not ideal, his defensive contribution is actually relatively limited, and he doesn't seem to be too motivated to defend too much.
Since joining the Bucks, Kuzma has played a total of 9 games so far, averaging 0.0 minutes per game, averaging 0.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, 0.0 assists, 0.0 steals, 0.0 blocks, as well as 0.0 turnovers and 0.0 fouls, shooting 0.0% from the field, 0.0% from three-point range, and 0.0% from the free throw line. Kuzma's first half of the season with the Washington Wizards was actually very unsatisfactory, his shooting percentage and his three-point shooting percentage fell to a career-low point, he was already a drag on the offensive end, and he was also unable to provide enough help and support to the team on the defensive end. The Wizards also had no choice but to send him to the Bucks when his trade value was at its lowest.
When it comes to the Bucks, although the overall competitiveness of the team and the strength of his teammates are much better than the Wizards, Kuzma's performance has not improved substantially. Kuzma's offensive efficiency is still very average, and his contribution on the defensive end has not changed. Previously, everyone may have thought that Kuzma was not too aggressive because he was playing for the Wizards, but from the current situation, it seems that it is not that he is not aggressive or that there is a problem with his mentality, he is just not in good shape, or that he may have changed dramatically in ability. Today's Kuzma is no longer the same Kuzma when he played for the Los Angeles Lakers?
