Just moved to the Washington Wizards, Kyle Kuzma already knows how to please his new teammate Bradley Beal.
Moving from a team in the race for the title like the Los Angeles Lakers to the Washington Wizards where the top goal is the Playoffs ticket is clearly something no one wants. However, for a young player like Kyle Kuzma, changing the environment and having a bigger role also brings many opportunities for development. Not to mention that this place also has a very bright star in Bradley Beal.
Unlike the biggest star Kyle Kuzma who once played alongside LeBron James, Bradley Beal is not a player known for his ability to coordinate or pass the ball. The Southern-born star, since his breakthrough 2016/2017 season where he averaged 23.1 points and an efficiency of 48.2%, has always been remembered by fans as a notorious assassin. However, Kyle Kuzma has a very different view of his senior.
In a recent appearance on NBC Sports Washington, the player born in 1995 had a lot to share about the new team. In particular, he let fans hear about a very different perspective related to Bradley Beal. Not only did he not hesitate to praise his seniors, Kyle Kuzma even compared the level of the number 3 defender to that of LeBron James or Anthony Davis.
Bradley Beal is remembered by fans as a notorious scorer
“Obviously when our team has a star who can score over 30 points per game, outsiders looking in will think that guy doesn’t pass the ball to anyone. In fact, he simply made the right decisions to win. I have seen this often with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. If they want to score points, they can always do it. However, understanding teammates is an important factor. And I witnessed that in Bradley Beal.”
Not stopping here, the young star from Michigan also said that Bradley Beal always sets an example as a lesson for young players. Even though I have been following the superstar born in 1993 for a long time, being able to practice and prepare to compete in the 2021/2022 NBA season alongside “Big Panda” is an extremely wonderful experience in the eyes of the pioneer who wears the number shirt. 0.
“Every day I learn new things from him. Of course I have been watching basketball for a long time and have followed many players. Bradley is a player that I have been fascinated with for many years because of his style of play. Until now I see a different side every day. One of them is that Bradley passes extremely well, he really is like that.”
Now that he is no longer paired with the same ball magnet as Russell Westbrook, it is clear that Bradley Beal will play a coordinating role to a much greater extent. Possessing a special ability to attract opponents’ defenses, it is entirely possible for the Missouri-born star defender to increase his assist index compared to 4.4 in the 2020/2021 season. .
Not only has he done this in previous NBA seasons, now the defender wearing the number 3 shirt also has an even team by his side, no longer having to fight the world alone like in the past. Let’s hope that Kyle Kuzma can become a truly effective assistant for Bradley Beal on the road to the Eastern Playoffs, which has now become much more difficult.
