Kyle Kuzma: 'I probably thought we could struggle, but never to the extent that we are in the present'

At 3-19, they own the league’s worst record, and are on pace to win 11 games, which would be the worst season in franchise history, worse than the previous 15-67 mark — set just last season. The Wizards rank last leaguewide in offensive rating. They rank last in defensive rating. Their cumulative point differential works out to minus-16.2 points per game, which, if it holds, would be the worst single-season point differential in NBA history. “I try to come into seasons with not too much of an expectation, because you just never know how things can go,” veteran forward Kyle Kuzma told The Athletic. “I probably thought we could struggle, but never to the extent that we are in the present.”
