The 2023 calendar year is almost over. So that gives me an opportunity to put out some predictions for the year ahead. In this prediction, I’ll have a hot take on the Wizards’ most consistent player.
Prediction: Kyle Kuzma stays a Wizard for all of 2024 and will be here for the rebuild
Why: Every team needs veteran leadership from somewhere in the locker room. That player is often among the best player on the team, but it doesn’t have to be.
In this era of the NBA where teams ultimately have to spend big bucks on a player due to very high minimum salary floors, it’s imperative that each NBA team have a player who is signed to a big salary.
