    Someone on twitter maybe unwrittenrules? pointed out that going against Lebron and AD in practice probably has helped him on defense.
    Plus since they're both good defenders they can give additional pointers on how to play defense against guys like Kawhii.

    Doesn't hurt that he has a solid defensive coach now, instead of Walton.

    Kuzma's defense looks real. He totally turned off Siakam. Impressive back to back performances against two All-NBA forward caliber players.
    The Lakers shooting is a mess but it's a good sign that between Lebron and Kuzma looks like the Lakers will be able to match up well against multiple NBA wings

    Liked his play again tonight. Definitely agree that his defensive improvement looks legit. Kid is pulling it altogether.

    Kuzma is playing great. One of the only bright spots in yesterday’s game.

    I like how he's playing.
    Just would avoid the one on one creating off the dribble plays for him: he's just not very good at that

    He was solid again tonight in the win. He's really showing us something on both ends. This is the Kuz we've been waiting for. Stepping up into that third guy role.

    Kuz has been our most consistent player since the restart. Another excellent game for him on both ends.

    Very happy with his progress. Him and AD playing well overall - others not so much.

    He’s been the only bright spot in this whole bubble.

    Kuz being a consistent threat for us is a great sign. Well designed play to get Kuz a great look. Props to coach and Kuz.

    He has been great in the bubble, probably the bright spot of the team.

    Kuz got the start and played great. He’s getting more and more confident playing on the floor with Lebron and AD.

    Is this Kuz's first game winning shot?
