![]() It was still worse than average, however. He did more playmaking than he’d shown previously in his career, and while his turnovers rose, his assist-to-turnover ratio did improve to a career best 1.4. ![]() Last season, Kuzma shot a bit worse than league average from everywhere - twos, threes and free throw. His efficiency throughout his career has been significantly below league average, even with a lower usage rate, and even when on the floor with players like Lebron James and Anthony Davis. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of reason to think this inefficiency was a result of a big offensive load. His offensive rating was 8.7 points per 100 possessions below league average. Offensive rating (points produced per 100 individual possessions): 103.Here’s a look at some of the stats I use when evaluating players (box score stats are per 100 team possessions, unless otherwise noted): That’s the same mark Andrew Wiggins produced for Golden State this season, and Wiggins played in the All-Star game and had an important role in the Warriors’ championship run. He had a stretch of almost half a season (37 games) where he produced a solidly above average 127 PPA. In my PPA metric (where average is 100 and higher is better), Kuzma rated a 108, which was the best mark of his career and a little better than average. To summarize what I wrote about Kuzma in May, his overall production last season was largely in line with his career norms with a few exceptions - he got more defensive rebounds, produced more assists, blocked a few more shots, and committed more turnovers. With 43% of the vote, fans chose Kyle Kuzma as the next Wizards player to go through my Statistical Doppelgänger Machine.
