One of the most overrated players in the entire NBA plays for the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At least according to\u00a0Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report<\/a>, who recently included Kyle Kuzma in a list of the league’s most overrated players this season.<\/p>\n

Kyle Kuzma\u00a0named one of the most overrated players in NBA<\/p>\n

The Bucks traded for Kuzma prior to the trade deadline last season, and the results have been underwhelming thus far, especially compared to his contract.<\/p>\n

On the season, Kuzma is averaging 12.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 26.8 minutes per performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Milwaukee Bucks’ big trade deadline acquisition last year, Kuzma has failed to even establish himself as a full-time starter this season for a team desperate to make the playoffs and keep Giannis Antetokounmpo happy,” Swartz wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently playing on a four-year, $90 million deal, Kuzma is being paid like a starter yet should be viewed as a seventh or eighth man on a playoff team.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fairness to Kuzma, it’s been a tough season in Milwaukee all around, so it’s not like he’s the only guy who has struggled.\u00a0Antetokounmpo has missed a lot of games, and without him the Bucks simply aren’t very good. Those struggles can’t all be pinned on Kuzma, but he hasn’t done much to mollify them either.<\/p>\n

At this point in his career, Kuzma is who he is. He’s a role player who can come in and provide some decent production, but he’s not really going to raise the ceiling of your team.<\/p>\n

There was a time when Kuzma was maybe looked at as a pseudo-star, but those days are gone. As a result, fans in Milwaukee probably agree with his inclusion on the overrated players list.<\/p>\n
