The Milwaukee Bucks made one of the more underrated trades in the NBA this season when it sent a package including Khris Middleton out in a four-team deal that brought them Kyle Kuzma.
Kuzma, a 6-foot-9 forward, is four years younger than Middleton, and while he is less efficient offensively than Middleton, he is less injury prone and does have championship experience.
In addition to relocating from the Washington Wizards to Milwaukee, Kuzma is going through another big life change, as he just got engaged to Winnie Harlow, per Bleacher Report.

Kuzma is one of the league’s more active players on social media, and he has the ability to give the Bucks a boost as they get ready for the stretch run of the season.
They were a festering disappointment last season despite the acquisition of star guard Damian Lillard, and they started this season 2-8, which made people wonder if a shake-up was coming.
But they have righted the ship since, and they have a 29-24 record, which puts them in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and just one game behind the fourth-place Indiana Pacers, another team that started off slowly but has been playing excellent ball lately.
On the season, Kuzma is averaging 15.3 points and 6.1 rebounds a game while shooting 42.0 percent from the field and 27.5 percent from 3-point range.
Milwaukee is hoping to surprise people in a positive way during the playoffs, and if they are to do that, Kuzma will have to play a big role in such success.
