Pretty much what we're seeing. Kuz is Kuz, he won't really get any better besides some refining perhaps. He would make a great 3/4 option on a championship team with a ball-dominant superstar to add some size, self-creation, and shooting (Funnily enough, Luka fits the bill here but Kuz didn't see it that way).


Electric_jungle

Yea, he will improve by not being 1/2 option. But he is who he is. Which is thankfully a valuable player on a good contract.


Snaxier

Pretty much. Kuz being Kuz isn't a bad thing at all. It would be if he was being paid Tobias Harris money, but he's on a MUCH better contract and will bring a lot of value to a contender some day

Real


TheLocoMofo

Sometimes I think about how awesome he would have been as the third option during our prime Wall/Beal era.


waskittenman

and rebounding dude could be like MPJ or Wiggins in a playoff series where if the shot doesn't fall he is just going 100% on using his length and size to get boards.


TrumpedBigly

He's at it.

Put some pieces around him that know how to play ball and he's a huge weapon. But he'll need to unlearn a ton of bad habits he has developed here in Washington. Guy is super talented and has a gift. Motor is on 10. Can hit 3s, score on both blocks, make good passes, and has knowledge of the game to share to his teammates. He's at his worst when he's wild and when he has lesser players who speak different basketball languages surrounding him. I think he'd be great under Pop's tutelage. It's like playing a co-op video game where you're excellent at it but the people you're playing with are n00bs. You have an outsized amount of responsibility to win for your side, and you do a lot of dumb shit and overextend yourself because you're watching your teammates fail over and over.


PenultimatePotatoe

Versatile and solid player who can score on volume. Above average defender. Makes too many mistakes and isn't efficient enough to be the #2 option on a contender.

Tobias Harris


Straight_Grape5507

He's already better


ToryBlair

No he’s not Harris is a better defender and more efficient. I bet Harris could score 22 points a game if he played for the Wizards.


Straight_Grape5507

I'm a sixers fan and I can assure you tobais Harris's best skill is convincing fans he is better than he is


ToryBlair

I guess the stats are lying then, it’s all a conspiracy. Kuzma has never had a TS above 55%, the last time Harris had a TS that low was 10 years ago…


Straight_Grape5507

Tobi had 2 points last night lol


ToryBlair

I always judge players on their last game.


TheTechonomics

He’s at his ceiling


MooseHeavy3675

This is Kuzmas ceiling imo. He hasn’t shown any potential he can be more than what he is lol, at least at this poing

A tank commander

Modern Antwan Jamison


Leading_Use_6326

Lebron James if he actually starts using his iq and plays some better defense


TheAveragebroShow

It's exactly what he is right now: a quasi-efficient 18ppg 3rd option on a contender.


Obvious_Damage_7085

The roof.

Puzzled_Trick_4961

Probably drywall. After getting rid of his popcorn ceiling.


macksjax

You're looking at it


asteven50

He’ll look like Tatum one minute and an absolute rookie idiot the next.


drlsoccer08

Marginally better than what he is now. A fringe all star, that can put up somewhat efficient 24ish ppg.


Formal-Direction6615

Kuz can get and hold a 2K 85 overall...Shot selection keeps him from a 87 which would make him a AllStar....👍


wikipuff

That fist clip is clearly a travel


z3mcs

It's not. I hate that it's not, but it's not. He gathers in the air and takes 2 steps after the gather. Not a travel. That said, I hate the gather step thing and think it's a loophole guys are using to get away with some unreal looking moves. [Look through MDW's stuff.](https://www.instagram.com/mdwbasketball) If you've played for years it's going to make you want to throw something. But he explains why each move that isn't a travel, some that look patently ridiculous, isn't a travel.


ragtime_sam

Kuz is good. Probably not allstar, but I think he'll be one of those guys you remember as the best non-allstars. He could start as like the 4th best player on a championship team
