kuz has been the only lakers draft pick of the last 5-6 years that has come into the league NBA ready and made a difference right away pretty sad
I guess. But we're not bagging on the Lakers' drafting now all of a sudden are we considering the ages of the players taken and Kuz's age?
We don't talk about it much, but it needs to be acknowledged... Kuzma is a really good interior passer (He doesn't really drive and kick so far). I mean, some of his interior passes are sensational. He just has a scorer's mentality, so he doesn't always remember to pass, but when he does, it's spectacular.
Take over end-of game type performance is something that adds experience in multiples. And I don't mean some streaky 3 shooter getting hot. The boy played. Kyle already had attitude. Uh oh. He was LBJ in the end of that game. Call him streaky all you want, he shoots .570 on 2s which are the majority of his shots. He's still new to the NBA but he is coming and his ascendance is not too hard to predict. Less than all-star ceiling predictions for his plateau are bizarre to me. A little less on the 3s is a healthy critique. Anything else regarding demotions is total BS.
The threes are what opens the floor up for him. When he struggles from outside, he struggles from inside because he’s trying to find his shot still. It gets his rhythm going and once he’s dialed in, he really gets going. Right now, the bright spot is that hes doing it without the Lebron shouldering him up when he struggles. With Lebron back, he’ll definitely have an easier time staying consistent.
This dude is awesome. Our scouting department is the shizzle. We snag guys late who are difference makers. Kuz is the prime example.
that was a bad pass by Fart, you never pass in the corner where Kuz was triple teamed by 2 rox and the baseline
I'm not saying abandon the 3s but he had been taking too many - just lower the attempts a little that's all. He shot well from 3 tonight.
Disappeared a little after the first but a solid game overall. Struggled with Tucker who played very physical.
Refs let Tucker push, grab, and body Kuz. It took him totally out of the game. While, Harden is being sent to the line if you look at him funny.
