Should You Draft Kyle Kuzma in Fantasy Basketball?
Kyle Kuzma begins his first full season in Milwaukee after being acquired from Washington at last year’s trade deadline. In 33 games with the Bucks, he averaged 14.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 31.8 minutes while shooting 46% from the field and 33% from three. Now entering his age-30 season, Kuzma remains a capable scorer and rebounder but no longer possesses the usage or efficiency to flirt with his fantasy peak.
With Damian Lillard out and Khris Middleton gone, there’s opportunity for Kuzma to take on a slightly larger offensive role. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo will remain the focal point, and guards like Kevin Porter Jr. and Gary Trent Jr. should also demand steady touches. Kuzma’s production often comes in bursts, and while he fits the Bucks’ pace and spacing, his inconsistency from deep and lack of defensive stats limit his overall fantasy ceiling.
Fantasy managers should view Kuzma as a late-round points-league option where volume scoring and rebounds carry more weight. In category formats, his subpar free-throw percentage, mediocre efficiency, and limited defensive upside make him more of a fringe player.
