Kyle Kuzma addresses fans before Bucks debut against Hawks
Kyle Kuzma made his debut against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. But before Kuzma's debut, the former Washington Wizards forward gave his thoughts on being sent to Milwaukee.
The Bucks posted a video of Kuzma addressing the fans on X, formerly Twitter. The former champion expressed his excitement to play for his new team and could hopefully seize the new opportunity he has in Milwaukee.
"What's up Bucks fans, it's Kuz here," Kuzma said in the video addressing fans. "Very, very excited to be here, compete at the highest level with some great players, a great coach, and a great fan base. So, can't wait to see you guys."
While it was sad to see Khris Middleton go, Kyle Kuzma is a great pick-up for the Milwaukee Bucks. Middleton, in recent memory, has been injury-prone, which doesn't sit well with the Bucks organization.
Looking at Kuzma's averages this season, he's putting up 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. The main issue of Kyle's game is his 3-point accuracy. Kuzma is shooting 28.1% from beyond the arc.
It's a downgrade compared to Middleton's 40.7% accuracy from deep. Nevertheless, the Bucks get someone younger and can help Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard on the offensive end.
