Kuzma has been the poster child for the hapless Wizards: Empty stats and porous defense. Since leaving The Bubble championship Lakers, Kuzma has been an inefficient scorer for Washington, but, at 28, he’s hungry to win again. Plenty of teams could use his high-level shot creation and championship pedigree, even though that’s not how he’s perceived at the moment.
Best fits: Miami, Atlanta, Oklahoma City, Memphis (With the asking price a bit ridiculous, it only makes sense for a few teams in the NBA landscape to go all-in on Kuzma. One of those is Memphis, who could use his offense to help balance Ja Morant and Desmond Bane’s output as the third option. That’s the same role he had in L.A. the year they won it all, and as a more complete, albeit, still immature player at times, he would add a dependable third option.)
