Another note along the same lines. PJ Washington isn't the best player on CHA. He's probably 4th. Is he better than Kuzma? Maybe, but I don't think so. PJ might be a better teammate, a better low utilization role player, maybe better fit in Dallas. I don't know. But he's certainly never had to be the no 1 option, he's never been the focal point of an opposing defense, and he's never had to lead quite like Kuzma has. PJ has never had to put up 22 ppg every single night to avoid a blowout. Maybe PJ could get there if he had his own team. I don't know.
Now, you can argue Kuz isn't a great no 1 and I would agree, but he doesn't have to be that here.
