It’s likely why one Milwaukee Bucks deal – an exchange of MarJon Beauchamp for Kevin Porter Jr. – garnered little attention on a basketball level. That is until about two weeks later, when Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo broadly grinned and hailed the acquisition of Porter.

Kevin Porter Jr. has been a solid addition to Milwaukee at the trade deadline, and now he heads to Houston where he once scored 50 on Milwaukee.

The Bucks have won three consecutive games since the All-Star break and four overall, and Kuzma has played an important part in each.
