In the home win over the Hornets, the Wizards' Kuzma performed well, starting 41 minutes, shooting 13-of-26 from 11-of-11 from three-point range, with a full stat of 36 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists, 6-of-11 shooting from the outside and 6-of-11 shooting. Kuzma scored 36 points, which set a new single-game scoring record this season, and this is also the first time he got 30+10 data for the Wizards, in addition, Kuzma had at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in a single game, and shot at least 5 three-pointers on the outside, he also became the third player in the Wizards since Bill and Westbrook to do this, this campaign Kuzma's performance is very bright, the team can win, his play is crucial.
In the past period of time, Kuzma's performance can be described as very impressive, after scoring 36 points against the Hornets, this is kuzma's fourth consecutive game to score 20+ points. The data shows that in the past 5 games, Kuzma averaged 28 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, shooting 55% of the time, shooting 2.8 three-pointers per game on the outside line, shooting a shooting rate of 42.3%, in the same period of competition, Kuzma's average score per game was second only to Beal, and his shooting efficiency was higher than Beal.
Kuzma's performance in the past 4 games can be described as the core of the performance, when the Wizards' record is not good, he stepped forward and became the right helper on The Beal's side, excellent play on the outside and efforts in the interior to fight for rebounds, he has become the absolute core of the Wizards' current forward position.
Kuzma this season can be said to have regained confidence, after two seasons of playing the Lakers as a substitute, he came to the Wizards, where he got a steady playing time and the ball, the team is also very trusting of him, willing to hand over the ball to him at key moments. In this case, Kuzma's self-confidence has greatly improved, and he dares to fight in the game, and his personal performance is very good.
In the game that has ended, Kuzma has averaged 14.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, compared to the past two years at the Lakers, Kuzma's personal data is improved. Although this statistic is not too shiny, Kuzma plays more active and confident in the game, especially in key moments, he tends to have a very good performance, and in many games he has helped the team score key goals.
With 5 minutes left in the game and with a score gap of less than 5 points, Kuzma was able to average 2.9 points per game, which was the same as That of Beal, and the team was first, with Kuzma's help, the team won 15 games in a total of 18 games with close scores, which is the first in the league. He shot 57.1 percent from key moments, 54.5 percent from three-point range, and Beal with 46.7 percent and 12.5 percent from three-point range. Statistically, it's clear that Kuzma is far more efficient than Beal at key moments, and in this respect, it's enough to see how well Kuzma has performed at key moments this season.
Judging from the performance this season, after leaving the Lakers, Kuzma proved his strength, he can still be the core of the team, rather than as the outside world predicted, he will be obscure and then gradually fade out of the league. This season's Kuzma can be said to have justified himself and shown his worth in the game. And if he can maintain his current form this season and help the team into the playoffs, I believe that Kuzma's value will increase significantly, he will stay in the NBA for a long time, and play a central role.
