He should play tons of minutes but even if I'm not a Randle fan , his defensive rebound abilities ( next to Lopez who can't board) earn him the starting spot for now . Once Kuz gets tougher and don't get overpowered by his opponents on the glass too often , he should start .
He has a recovery move for anything. He can score from inside, outside, corners, of the backboard, straight to the hole. The guy has a feel for the game. Just like Lonzo does. So, with that, at least we have 2 rookies who the Lakers can build with. At least the Lakers have that.
Yeah and that’s not good. It would basically mean we’ve got nothing to show for 3 out of our four lottery picks.
Kuzma has earned himself starter minutes The question is...who does he start over? We gotta find him 25-30 minutes a game that's for sure. He's too good to be on the bench.
How bout giving Kuz 6th man of the year goals too. But he should be off the bench before Clarkson. Hell bring him in at the 2 as well if KCP is bricking or in foul trouble or move Ingram to the 2 in those situations and let Kyle play the 3. Easy to get him the minutes that way.
