The Washington Wizards’ leading scorer Kyle Kuzma turned down the opportunity to join the Dallas Mavericks to stay in the nation’s capital. Despite the Wizards’ poor performance, Kuzma is drawn to the idea of being the No. 1 option on the team and enjoys the social media attention and notoriety he has achieved in the DC market. He values being the man on the team, even if it’s the worst team in the league, and prefers to stay and “build something” in Washington. It’s clear that Kuzma is focused on maximizing his career and bank account, even if it means playing for a team that is not expected to succeed in the near future.
