After earning 2018 NBA All-Rookie First Team honors, Kuzma is averaging 19.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 53 appearances. While the 23-year-old struggled with the Anthony Davis trade rumors, there is no denying his talent.

With the 2018-19 NBA trade deadline finally behind him, Kuzma won the 2019 MTN DEW ICE Rising Stars Game Most Valuable Player award with 35 points and six assists in just 22 minutes.
