For most of his NBA career, Kyle Kuzma has been written off by many analysts and fans.
He’s been viewed as not a winning or smart basketball player by many.
That’s actually not the case, and he’s proven that he can be very productive in a winning environment when he plays within his role.
That’s why it’s not much of a surprise to see Sam Amico reporting that the Memphis Grizzlies, San Antonio Spurs, and Golden State Warriors are keeping tabs on him ahead of the trade deadline.

Kuzma has put up big numbers since he joined the Washington Wizards.
Needless to say, that hasn’t translated into winning basketball, and chances are that he’s not exactly what you would want from your go-to guy or franchise player.
Then again, Kuzma is a very solid defender who can play and guard multiple positions.
He can play as a small-ball five or at both forward spots and is a plus-shooter from beyond the arc.
Kuzma played a vital role in the Los Angeles Lakers’ championship in the bubble, and the team may have made a mistake by letting him go, just like what happened with Alex Caruso.
Kuzma could make a positive impact on multiple teams right now, and don’t be shocked if he’s traded before the deadline.
