    Sadly he's been bad at all those three things. But I believe his versatile scoring off the bench will truly help this season.

    At this point, Kuzma's got to come off the bench. It just makes sense.

    There'll enough ball to go around with him as a 6th man.

    That's nothing to write home about, he is the 198th light skinned NBA guy in the queue

    Wish the spurs would trade with us. Would seriously love a guy like Derrick White or Dejonte Murray for Kuzma

    i'd strongly consider either. good young defensive guards with size. neither is much of a shooter, though, which would worry me. i think their value is about on par with kuz's, and the spurs have two of them and lack a dynamic scorer at the 3 spot.

    not happening, though, as i think both sides say no.

    Glad to hear Kuz is busting his a**. Could have a monster year this season with all the attention Bron, AD, Boogie, and the shooters are going to get.

    One thing I want Kyle to work on is drawing contact, but also not looking for it the way Harden does.

    Make it look smart like Lou Williams. I think he shies away from it too much and defenders can read him. Once defenders know you’re creating contact, they’ll give you a little space.

    Grow your arsenal Kuz.

    Can anybody break down his stats defensively at the 3 and 4?

    I am interested to see where he is better at...

    I don’t want him starting. That would mean too many guards off the bench. He should get almost all the touches off the bench being the sixth man.

    Bradley
    Green
    Lebron
    AD
    Cousins
    -
    Rondo
    KCP
    Kuz
    McGee

    Maybe throw Cook in with that second unit. And you’ll probably see me flipflop between starting Cousins and McGee a lot.

    Yea that's solid. I just hope Bradley, ad and bron can stay healthy. Bradley has never made it through a whole season without missing games. I think we are deep enough to manage minutes so hopefully we can avoid overuse injuries and still be able to ride a hot hand

    Did he just call himself God? Is Bron ok with this? Do they know about each other?
