Kyle Kuzma interested in playing with Jordan Clarkson for Philippines

Per play-by-play data I compiled, Kuzma took 77 shots the NBA classified as a hook and converted 60% of them. That’s tied for the 17th-most in the NBA, and while he dabbled at center in small-ball Wizards lineups, he’s still a more perimeter-oriented player than anybody on the list above him. His 60% conversion rate ranks fourth out of the top 20 hookers (stop it). For comparison, Karl-Anthony Towns and Giannis Antetokounmpo also shot exactly 77 hook shots last season, and they only made 52% and 43%, respectively! -via Basketball Poetry / September 6, 2024
