Kyle Kuzma was one of the several players who were sacrificed by the Los Angeles Lakers in order to acquire Russell Westbrook from Washington Wizards. Although the start in the NBA 2021-22 Season hasn’t been the most ideal for Russ, Kuzma has experienced a totally different start to his campaign as the Wizards have gathered wins after wins with the 26-years-old performing at his very best. 

Being 7-3 in the Eastern Conference table, Wizards have already got the better of the defending champions in their latest matchup. However after the win against the Bucks, Wizards’ Kyle Kuzma reacted to a tweet which throwed shade as Los Angeles Lakers’ Russell Westbrook.

All three LA Lakers additions have been key for the Wizards’ early success. Kyle Kuzma has seamlessly stepped into the starting power forward role with Rui Hachimura still away from the team. Kuzma has spaced the floor and contributed 9.4 rebounds per contest, tied for the 20th best per game average with Joel Embiid.

Montrezl Harrell has looked like an early favorite for Sixth Man of the Year. The big man has averaged 18.0 points and 9.7 rebounds off the bench while bringing energy and intensity every night. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Aaron Holiday have helped form a supporting cast around Wizards All-Star Bradley Beal that has them looking like a playoff lock early on.

Having said that, it is way too early to call the trade of Westbrook a flop. Yet it is surely time for Russ to get back to his best as the Lakers have been found lingering and hovering around teams late in the game. As a result of which the team has endured 5 losses in the NBA 2021-22 Season so far.
