Someone might have already posted Kuzma advanced defensive stats and they are trash...but I remember hearing he was turning a corner on defense right before Lebron traded him from LA.
I know he is tall and long and decent athlete...I have seen him block a few threes with his length...just dont know what Mavs are looking for and/or if Kuzma ever turned the defensive corner or not.
Kuzma is not Jrue, but he's not a total matador. Last year he had a dfg%3pt of 32.7 (which is exceptional... league average is 37). Grant's was 38.6.
In today's NBA I would rather a wing defender contest 3s over playing off to prevent blow-by's.
