    It's getting to be a regular thing where Kuz is the leading scorer for the team.

    23 tonight in the win

    Really a better fit with James with his scoring mentality and constant movement... Still not there like last season with his perimeter game.

    Yeah he was limping a bit in the 4th, but he pushed through it. Big props for the mental toughness.

    His game is so much more fluid than Brandon's. When i look at BI, i see a guy that is crazy skilled but has to think for a second or two what to do next (eternity in basketball). Kuz just does it, love the guy.

    Loss to Sac Town hurt so bad Kuz sinks to page 2 and can't even get an attaboy for 33 - 9 - 4 while trying to make up for the vets that are out.

    Don't pass the ball to a weaker FT shooter .
    Live he was a weird move for somebody who isn't afraid of the moment ( maybe he was losing his balance or got trapped I didn't pay much attention)

    only saw the first half, but he and lonzo kept us in it when we could have easily been blown out.

    the fact that he's getting roasted for passing it to one of our supposed franchise cornerstones at the end of the game says A LOT more about said franchise cornerstone than it does about kuz.

    Kuzma played very well overall and hit several clutch shots down the stretch.

    He's showing what we know he can do - he can score, period. Not the greatest shooter in the world, but he's incredibly versatile on offense. 33 points is no joke.

    By default he becomes our best player and he showed up. We know he's a scorer, we need him to also up his defense game.
