Kuz is starting to impact the game in other ways outside of scoring. Becoming a key piece off the bench.
absolutely. lately, he has been killing it. may not be crazy box score stats, but if you watch the games, he seems honed in defensively and absolutely was active in trying to get the rebs (esp in the bucks game). he doesn’t play much, and that may work against him, but man he has done really well the last 1-2 weeks. gotta love the blocks he has been showing everyone as well. worth the money so far. keep it up kyle!
Solid rebounding effort tonight. The effort and hustle is there. He's only taken 18 shots in the last 3 games combined
He was all over the offensive glass, saved multiple possessions for us. He still looks lost on offense though, like he doesn’t know where he fits in. I could honestly see him and Shröder being moved as a package if the right player could be had.
Kuzma was huge tonight. When he has high rebounding games, his intensity level is just off the charts.
It's frustrating as he's doing all the little things but is useless on offense. I hate the Matthews and Kuzma combo. Seems like they don't compliment each other at all. Would really like them to bench Matthews for a bit
Career game on the offensive glass. But yeah, outside of that he's still searching for where he fits with this group.
I agree with the first part but couldn't disagree more with the latter. That's the whole issue. Wes is a starter. He's been one virtually his entire career. He should be with the starting unit, DNP'ing him is the wrong call.
Kuzma not being able to matchup with a guy like Harris is a concern. We have bunch of great defensive guards but they don't have the size to take on these guys who are big and athletic I thought he made big progress last year but this year hes having trouble matching up with them again. And I still hate the Matthews Kuzma combo: that has to be the worst 2 man pair in terms of plus minus
yeah, you'd want kuz to be able to bother harris, in particular, as he's not super quick and uses his size and skill primarily.
Yeah I thought he deserved to be in the finishing lineup. He plays well against the C Bags but not against the 76ers just like last year
Kuz got at least 3 hockey assists when he was in there tonight. His weakside shot contesting can be seen regularly tonight
had a great drive and dish to trez (i think) at an important point in the game. knocked down a clean look from the corner (moar plz), hustled on d.
