Kyle Kuzma is a champion, and so is his new teammate, Jordan Poole. Both are tremendous shooters, and both share a similar story with their respective teams with which they won their rings. Despite Kuzma’s talents and contributions, the Lakers traded him for Russell Westbrook, whereas the Warriors replaced Jordan to preserve their core.

Can this talented duo unleash their skills to put the Washington Wizards on the map? If they do, what would be their legend? As of now, they are enjoying each other’s company, and are embarrassing their teammates with their fun talent.

Only when he joined the Houston Rockets, he became ?the Man? and the NBA world took notice of his sorcery. Jordan Poole has a similar story. In Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson?s presence, he was never going to get his due. But not anymore.
