    It’s put up or shut up time for Kuz.

    Let's see if Kuz is going to learn something from this and start playing better.

    I wonder if Rob was playing games and had zero interest in Morris and just wanted to try and drive up the price on the Clippers.

    I really don't know what some of you guys see in him.
    1. No post moves
    2. Out of control drives to the basket
    3. You'll be lucky if he can pass the ball within two feet from you. Most of the time, some fan in the stands is going to catch it.
    4. Terrible rebounding ability for someone of his size.
    5. His defense is putrid. He can't guard smaller players due to his slow lateral movement and he's too weak and soft to guard the big boys.
    6. No three-point shooting ability. This 'Lethal Shooter' must have scammed him big time and if so, Kuzma should file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
    7. Russ dropped 8 points and bullied him on the paint in 4 minutes to the point where Frank had to get Kuzma out of there.
    8. Low basketball IQ. Misses wide-open players and ignores the hockey passes. He thinks he's Kobe when he's more like Brian Scalabrine.
    I don't get it, I really don't. He's cheap, great. What use is that when he's absolutely garbage out there?



    This is basically Kyle Kuzma. All talk on his social media profiles but when the game starts, he is the same old player who doesn't improve at all.

    Green is spending as much time on his podcast the Green Room as he is practicing. I'm not a fan of the distractions. Hopefully in the playoffs that shut that mess off.

    Covington is what one hopes Kuzma. At this point don't know how you can count on him in the playoffs, just so inconsistent.
    Biggest thing you see with him is he just gets overpowered so easily: no core or leg strength

    He isn't becoming Covington; let's just hope he's serviceable.

    I have defended him, but it is time to put up especially when the Lakers were adamant about keeping you.

    And he sucked tonight with his inconsistent a**

    His Instagram is all about ignoring the haters and proving them wrong and then he shows up to the games looking petrified.

    The worrisome thing about Kuzma and why I thought the Lakers would keep him is that he was the stretch 4 for the AD at 5 lineups

    Without him the Lakers have no wing size outside of LeBron so the team becomes really small. They don't have guys like Tucker and Westbrook who play "big". The death lineup just becomes a scary movie and not scream when it's green, Caruso, Bradley out there with ad/LeBron

    Small all teams are successful with bigger guards—bunch of 6’6” guys like the Rodman bulls or Draymond dubs.

    we dont have that.

    Kuzma is like a dumpster of oily rags in a welding shop:
    Garbage that catches fire every once in a while.

    He’ll be another guy who plays better elsewhere, IMO. He needs more reps on offense to be effective. Does he deserve those on a contender? Probably not.

    I’m having those same feelings from the days past of Zo making tracks, but not figuring out how to shoot 3’s; or DLO’s dating, but no improvement in his game. Off court life overly more important, or so it seems.
