Recently, Bucks GM Horst accepted an exclusive interview with The Athletic. In the interview he talked about Kuzma.

Horst said: "First, we had a clear intention before the trade deadline, and we discussed this repeatedly at that time. Kuzma is our goal, and that has never changed. I think he can make us play faster and make us play a bigger and more diverse lineup. He is a great defender in multiple positions, and on the offense, as long as he plays confidently and plays at the pace of the game, his influence is very obvious."

"We still believe in Kuzma. He has struggled a little, and he hasn't played the playoffs in a while. But after we traded him, he performed well in the regular season most of the time, just not in the playoffs - he will admit that. Rivers and I have already I went to Los Angeles to find him in person, and Rivers will spend time with him next. "

"I think the most important thing for Kuzma is to be familiar with the environment - training with our coaching team during the offseason, participating in a complete training camp, truly integrating into the system, figuring out where your phone will appear on the court, how to exert influence, and we can understand him better. His performance in the fourth position is excellent. I think it will be helpful for him to have more time at the fourth position. He is a player we trust very much. I think he will have a very good season this year because he can finally have a complete offseason and a stable team with a mature team, which he hasn't experienced in a long time. So we look forward to him."
