[Saba Sports News] During the NBA’s In-Season Tournament break, Washington Wizards player Kyle Kuzma engaged with fans in a Q&A session, sharing his opinions on various basketball topics. One standout comment was his view that the Los Angeles Clippers shouldn’t have traded for James Harden, suggesting the move disrupted their previously more balanced team.
Kuzma also expressed his admiration for playing in New York City, particularly at Madison Square Garden, a sentiment shared by many players who see it as a basketball mecca.
Regarding the Dallas Mavericks, Kuzma acknowledged their improvement with Dereck Lively II’s addition, but suggested they might still need another piece to become serious contenders.
When asked about the impact of Denver’s high altitude on gameplay, Kuzma humorously confirmed it as a factor, although it didn’t hinder his own performance in Denver last December, where he scored 24 points.
In discussing elite NBA point guards, Kuzma chose Tyrese Haliburton, De’Aaron Fox, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as his top picks, emphasizing his personal enjoyment in watching them play.
Finally, Kuzma revealed how he spent his first NBA paycheck, noting that he didn’t become a reckless spender. He mentioned buying a house for his mother and his recent four-year, $102 million deal with the Wizards, underscoring his financial responsibility.
