He did not start half the games for a championship team. He started 9 games. In that playoffs he didn't start a single game, played a little over 20 minutes a game with inefficient chucking and had the worst on/off on the team. I have no idea why folks use that playoff run as a positive for him. Grant Williams did more in the Celtics finals run.
Your comparison with Tim is flawed. Tim has the better true shooting 4 of the last 5 years (every healthy season). Kuz has more assists, but a much worse assist to turnover ratio and he still manages to put up more shots. I don't think Kuz is a much better defender than anyone. Folks get frustrated with Timmy because he takes bad shots and plays bad defense. It will be even more annoying with Kuz because he will do it from the starting lineup after we paid a lot more for him.
Why do we need another PF/SF as a starter when we already have PJ and (defensively) Luka? What we need is a point of attack defender. Thats why we have been rotating Green/DJJ/Exum.
My point is there is no comparison between THJ and Kuzma. They're completely different players.
