Kyle Kuzma’s quiet November is perfect reason to initiate Nate Ament pivot

Dalton Sell of Behind the Buck Pass argues that the Milwaukee Bucks should demote Kyle Kuzma to the bench and start rookie forward Nate Ament. Kuzma has struggled early in November, averaging just four points per game on 27.3 percent shooting across two contests. Sell suggests head coach Taylor Jenkins has already shown a willingness to bench veterans for young players, having previously replaced Ryan Rollins with rookie Brayden Burries.

The writer notes that Ament has outperformed Kuzma this month, averaging 6.5 points on 40 percent shooting after taking Ousmane Dieng's rotation spot. Sell contends that with Kuzma heading into free agency after the season, the Bucks should prioritize their future by placing both Burries and Ament in the starting lineup.
