Kuzma has been too strong in recent times, and in the game against the Magic, he once again ushered in a big explosion, the first 38 minutes of the game, 10 of 19 shooting, 27 points and 22 rebounds double 20 statistics, the performance is very strong. It is worth mentioning that he also set a number of records in this campaign, with a double 20 in a single game of 27 +22, which is also the first time in Kuzma's career that he has achieved this, with 22 rebounds in a single game setting a career high, after his highest number of rebounds in a single game was 15. Kuzma also became the first player in Wizards history to have at least 25 points and 20 rebounds in a single game since Chris Webb in 1997. Kuzma performed well in this game, and with his help, the Wizards also successfully defeated the Magic and won the game.
Kuzma's strong personal performance is not just this one, the data shows that after getting 27+22 in this game, Kuzma has scored 20+ points in 7 consecutive games, and in these 7 games, Kuzma has at least 20+10 double-double data in 5 games, playing very steadily.
He had a 36+14 performance against the Hornets, and in the game against the Bulls, Kuzma was also able to get 29+12 statistics. Whether against strong or weak teams, Kuzma is very strong, his personal shooting efficiency is extremely high, and he can also stand up to help the team in key moments.
In the case of other player instability, Kuzma is also the most stable player for the Wizards at this stage in both offensive and defensive ends, shooting efficiency, and has played a very important role in the game. Compared to last season when he played for the Lakers, Kuzma has performed much better this season.
I believe everyone knows that after Kuzma was traded to the Wizards, the outside world positioned him as a substitute for Hachimura, and many people think that although Kuzma is excellent, the Wizards pay more attention to the growth of Hachimura. So if the two players can play at the same time, then Kuzma will be a substitute for Yamura. However, since the beginning of the new season, Yatsumura has been absent, and only came back in the game against the Magic, and during Hachimura's absence, Kuzma was given the opportunity to fully express himself, and he also proved his worth with a series of efficient performances.
After Yamura's comeback, Kuzma is still the team's starter, and the two play in the game is also very different, Kuzma got 27 +22 data, while Hachimura only faced the Magic team 8 of 2 to get 6 points and 3 rebounds, personal plus-minus -14, this data is the lowest in the game.
Judging from the performance, if Kuzma continues to play so well, then even if Hachimura plays better and better in subsequent games, Kuzma will still be a stable starting candidate for the Wizards. Because he's so good, his play in the game helps the team get better, can reduce the pressure on Beal, and help the team in the scramble for rebounds and the defensive end, and his presence can make the Wizards a playoff-level team.
