Not all Milwaukee Bucks fans were thrilled to hear that Kyle Kuzma is changing his jersey number from 18 to 0 this season. It's Damian Lillard's old number, which already involves awkward territory so soon after Dame's departure. Social media users were quick to juxtapose the jersey switch with Kuzma's infamous 0-filled box score in the playoffs this past season.

But it's also the number Kuzma wore as a cog on the 2020 Lakers title team. If he can rediscover certain aspects of his game, he could go from a negative asset to a quality contributor, helping to assist a playoff contender.
