Geez there's a balance here fellas. You know you can't just look at stats. I'm not going to make any more posts about Kuzma but this big-name, overpriced, terrible fit, inefficient chucker stuff is nonsense. Kuzma's not winning any MVPs, that's for sure, but he doesn't suck. I mean, you put Jimmy Butler and the focus of the entire Heat defense on him the whole game and you get 5-16 with 13 pts, a bunch of fouls and 1 assist. What else do you expect? It's Jimmy freaking Butler. That doesn't mean he wouldn't regularly go 7-12 with 18 pts and 8 boards if he were the 3rd option in Dallas and guarded by Haywood Highsmiths, Michal Porter Jrs, KATs, Giddeys and Barneses of the world. That doesn't make Kuzma a different player. Just a very different situation.
