Wizards' Kyle Kuzma: Limited impact in loss Thursday
Kyle Kuzma notched 12 points (6-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 122-102 loss to the Celtics.Jordan Poole led the Washington Wizards in scoring Thursday, and even though Kuzma had enough touches to deliver a strong showing, he wasn't efficient from the field and missed 10 of his 16 shots. Even though Kuzma's scoring numbers tend to be based more on volume rather than efficiency, the forward is too talented to shoot like this regularly. There's a strong chance there might have been some rust in Kuzma's regular-season debut.

Wizards' Kyle Kuzma: Another subpar shooting effort
Kyle Kuzma delivered 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a steal across 17 minutes in Friday's 118-117 preseason win over the Knicks.Kuzma was one of two starters who scored in double digits Friday, with Jordan Poole being the other, and that will probably be the case in the regular season as well, with both players leading the team in scoring on a regular basis. Kuzma's shooting numbers in the preseason have been poor, but he's likely to get most of his fantasy production based on volume rather than efficiency. Shooting woes aside, he should be one of the few consistent fantasy options on a subpar Washington Wizards roster that figures to finish near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings once again.

Wizards' Kyle Kuzma: Poor shooting display Monday
Kyle Kuzma finished with seven points (3-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and a steal across 25 minutes in Monday's 131-92 preseason loss to the Nets.The Washington Wizards need Kuzma to be at his best once the regular season begins if they want to have any shot at improving following a dreadful 2023-24 campaign. Even though preseason stats should be taken with a grain of salt, this performance was certainly subpar. Kuzma averaged a career-best 22.2 points per game in 2023-24 and has scored at least 20 points per game in each of his last two campaigns in The Association.
