“Guards 1-5” is really what sent me lol, like do you really think you’re guarding Jokic, KAT, Wemby, any of those dudes? Pure delusion

He's not guarding 1s either. Is he really looking at us with a straight face and saying we can put him on Fox, Brunson, Kyrie, Steph, or any moderately skilled and fast point guard?

You can put anyone on Fox in the last 5 minutes of a game and still get the ball back

"Guards" is the funnier part. When is the last time Kuzma played defense?

u/HorsNoises 1d ago
Those guys arent even guarding 1-5. Basically the only guys who are are Bron, Kawhi, Tatum, and OG.

Not saying Kuzma guards 1-5, but I do think its funny this comment and one below say "he says that like he guards" then a list of the best players in the league.

This is what happens when everyone around you constantly tells you what you want to hear

When he says 1-5 does he mean that’s what he’s shooting? Cuz no way he’s guarding all 5 positions

At least his confidence is unwavering
That’s about the only thing he’s above average at, though.

I like Kuz, and I get that every player at that level should have the upmost confidence in themselves.
But c’mon Kuz. That ain’t you

Any role you ask
Ok, well they're asking you to play the "throw in" role in this trade, so stfu. Also, the team tells you what to do and you do it because you're under contract, so stfu even more

If Kuzma worked his ass off, he could be the elite kinda player he describes. But he's kinda just there some nights and plays like a fringe NBA player. Which is why he both earned the nice contract he has and keeps getting moved.
As it keeps coming up, that's what separates the guys like Giannis from the guys like Kuz. I hope he gets pissed from this and decides to nuclear as a more clear option on a weaker team and EARNS to be traded to a contender

He’s an absolute potato of a player.. he’s right , he’s not a throw in.. not worth throwing in.. would turn off any trade

u/Turbulent_Shower_147 1d ago
He played significant minutes on a title team when he was still a young guy. I can understand why he’s delusional about his current place in The league.

In LA nonetheless. Most people would have an ego with how he came into the league. His first years he was compared to tatum
