#1 - Kyle Kuzma
It's hard to beat a man who simply doesn't want to lose. That man was Kyle Kuzma last night. Many expected the Dallas Mavericks to coast to a win in Washington. The Wizards were without their star players Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porziņģis. Kuzma had other plans for the evening.
In a star-making performance for his career, Kuzma dropped 36 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and dished five assists for his teammates. Looking at all the roster issues the Los Angeles Lakers have this season, it's hard for them not to regret trading Kyle Kuzma for almost nothing.

At this point, Kuzma can be legitimately considered as one of the most underrated players in the league. He has been consistent on the offensive side of the ball for the Wizards the entire season, and he also seems to have improved his defensive game. The Wizards seem to be in safe hands when he is on the floor.
