PG: Ball SG: Ingram SF: PG PF: Randle C: Boogie Hart and Kuz leading the second unit. One can dream...
Ball was a known commodity... Kuzma was not. Hart was a question mark because he wasn't flashy. Thrilled when we drafted him! Hope he keeps it up because: NCAA champion (2016) Consensus first-team All-American (2017) Third-team All-American – NABC (2016) Senior CLASS Award (2017) Julius Erving Award (2017) Big East Player of the Year (2017) 2× First-team All-Big East (2016, 2017) 2x Big East Tournament MOP (2015, 2017) Big East Sixth Man of the Year (2015) Robert V. Geasey Trophy (2017)
The TS% is just mind boggling. It's a tiny sample size, but still important to understand how vital he's been to our success. I think right now Hart is a better player than Pope and that's pretty effing impressive.
It really is amazing just how confident and efficient he is right now. Just so under control all the time. So happy for him.
It's crazy this draft we had. With all the talent added and Zo's attention and Kuzma literally setting the NBA abuzz .... that now from the shadows since becoming a starter Josh Hart's blowing up too in front of us in real time with that same kind of impact and incredible value we get from Kuzma at both their respective late points in the draft. And he too is really fun to watch. New most favorite Laker. Until the next amazing feat from one of this class.
