On February 3, Beijing time, the US media posted the performance of wizards forward Kuzma in the game since entering 2022. According to the data, after entering 2022, Kuzma has played a total of 15 games for the Wizards, and in these last 15 games, he has averaged 22.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 blocks per game, shooting 51.2% and shooting 37.5% from three-point range, which has reached the core level of the team. Although the team has won fewer and lost more in his 15 games, it is undeniable that Kuzma has played very brightly in the game, he has done everything he can, and the team's recent slump in record cannot be blamed on Kuzma.
Many fans may know that after Kuzma was traded by the Lakers to the Wizards, many people believe that Kuzma's attention and popularity will decline significantly after leaving a giant team like the Lakers, and his time in the league will not be very long, just like many players who played well in the Lakers gradually faded out of the league after leaving.
However, after Kuzma joined the Wizards, he did not fade out of the league as predicted, and his popularity and popularity declined. On the contrary, he used his excellent performance in the game to let more fans know his strength and ability.
After joining the Wizards, Kuzma shined, where he gained more ball power and tactical status than the Lakers, becoming the team's starting line-up. And his performance did not disappoint, this season he played a total of 48 games for the Wizards, averaging 33.3 minutes per game, 16.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, shooting 46% from the field and 34% from three-point range, his average of points per game was second only to the 18-19 season, which was the second highest score in a single season of his career, and his rebounds and assists both set a new career high. The overall individual performance was far better than when he played for the Lakers in the 19-20 and 20-21 seasons.
Especially after entering 2022, Kuzma has ushered in a big explosion, he can average 22.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 blocks per game, which is a quasi-All-Star performance. In the game, he played very steadily and confidently, whether it was a jump shot after holding the ball, or a three-point shot from the outside, or a key moment, he was better than before, and now Kuzma has become a better player.
It can be said that the Lakers chose to trade Kuzma, which is a great help for Kuzma's career, because the Lakers have stars such as James and Davis, Kuzma's ball will decline, and he will not be able to get more shots in the game. After joining the Wizards, he got the ball and tactical status he wanted, which also helped him play a good performance. Now Kuzma, who has a new look at the Wizards, has once again shown his personal talent and strength in the game, becoming a core level player. If he can maintain such a performance, I believe he is expected to sign a bigger contract.
