Kyle Kuzma starts a slow start after trading with goats

Since Kyle Kuzma was acquired by the Milwaukee Bucks before the trading period.

The 6'9 striker, for whom the Buck Khris Middleton gave up, has a reasonable raw line of 15.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists, but its efficiency (41.7% of the field) was missing, and its 1: 1 assist-to-touring ratio does not have exactly one pill of great consistency.

Always a hard sale

Even before Kuzma was acquired by the Washington Wizards, the striker was not known exactly for his efficiency or high intensity defense.

In order for Milwaukee Middleton, an efficient shooter that, in the worst case, is a perfect table for his teammates, is now also problematic because the production that the Bucks get from Kuzma seems to change in the evening.

For a Milwaukee team that has spent more than two years with being able to deliver a consistent product, it has always been a strange choice to add a player who has his own problems in this department.

Kuzma has the ability to play more minutes than Middleton because the latter is often injured and never fully returned to his previous injury to be an all-star.

But is that a worthy attempt, or more, such a trade, even more for fear of Middleton?

Awkward fit

In his eight games with Milwaukee, Kuzma broke only 20 points once, and this is a year after an average of 22.2 points per game. With all Middleton devices, which has continued to build up, Kuzma recorded a strong decline in raw production with an average of 15.2 points a year, but made 14 shots per game to achieve this.

Kuzma's three-point shooting, which was historically never a real weapon due to its inefficiency in this area, has to need a significant bump if it is more likely to act as a floor bullet for Giannis Antetocounmpo and Damian Lillard, which both needed driving walls to optimize their offensive game.

So that Milwaukee can save this long -term rescue architecture, Kuzma will probably play mainly with the second unit, of which we are already some to optimize its effect.

But that raises another question about trade.

If the goats exchanged a player that they have for the graduation with antetocounmpo to optimize the effect of both, what exactly was the meaning of the deal?

Fairyly, the Bucks won five of the eight games that Kuzma has played since overhaul, but Milwaukees -1.85 -Netto evaluation with him on the floor paints an early picture of an attack that is at best Wonky.

Could Kuzma turn things around and Milwaukee be a capital? Secure. But most likely it will require a complete training camp and a squad that otherwise focuses on ground distances to compensate for its defects.

This is rarely a sentence that you want to hear about your main freight acquisition.
