    He needs to embrace his inner Big Game James and KAJ.

    Ehh, even Frank Vogel admitted to it by saying he had to start trying to figure out how to get Kuzma more involved offensively.

    They don’t teach strategy at the YMCA, just to run and shoot.

    hmmm...i feel like he shows pretty strong awareness on offense in terms of finding seams for cuts and such. he's got a nose for the ball on both ends. i think he's a bit of a space cadet, and he doesn't have great hands, so sometimes things look worse than they are.

    Need him to get back to what he was doing before the eye injury: the Lakers will need a third scorer against good teams and Kuzma looks like he's getting into good spots but just aint' hittin the shots right now

    He started out hot early by attacking but he cooled off later and couldn't hit the long shots. I think he should just keep attacking the rim until he has his rhythm.

    But the offense needs movement for that to happen. He’s not that effective in iso.

    Overall he's not doing enough things to contribute at a championship level .

    The best teams will target him on D in the playoffs .

    He's got 2 months and a half to step it up if not I could see a trade

    I wish he didn’t attempt that final dunk attempt. Can’t respect that. That’s something I would have expected from Lonzo. But, he paid the price by embarrassment and hurting his hand. Come on Kuz, get back to normal.

    You guys would trade Lebron if he has back to back 15 point games and two losses in a row.

    I like Kuzma but really, he hasn't improved on defense or playmaking. All he really is will be a scorer. Unfortunate but he'll always be limited by that.

    he's a good scorer. i'm not sure what people were expecting. he came into the league older and more experienced, so his trajectory wasn't likely to be as dramatic as a lot of people. that's ok, as he's been a better than average nba player on a cheap contract for 3 years.

    i don't think he has much trade value, so i think he's staying. and that's ok, too.

    Kuzma's great as long as he's shooting or attacking.
    Him trying to be a playmaker doesn't go well lol but he did what he has to do for the team to take the next step finish the plays setup for him
