    Dare I say..... Draymond Green on offense (similar size, passing, post game, 3 point shooting, athleticism)?

    Not so much on defensive but he would just need to hold his own on defense to be a great player.

    His versatility was on full display last night, I think he will be a solid piece for us.

    He needs some G-League time, I think he can be a rotation player...

    I'm a fan. Tall, can shoot, seems to do the right thing on the court. I was higher on Hart, but after one game, I think Kuzma and Bryant will get more PT.

    Very good first impression. More than anything else, i loved his passing ability. He was eager to make the pass whether he got an assist for it or not. I want to see him in the starting lineup tonight. Wear doesn't do anything better than what Kuzma showed last night.

    Damn, Kuzma was bombing threes. I hope this can translate to the regular season. Would love for him to be able to be a nice backup stretch 4 for us, or even play some with Ball.

    Kuzma is going to be great off the bench with Nance Jr

    good to see his threeball falling so far. i was concerned about that given the bulk of evidence from college. maybe he was a late bloomer?

    liked that he took the challenge and tried to defend tatum in isolation. didn't always go well, but he competed.

    Our scouting department is AWESOME but clearly owes someone money, otherwise guys like Wear and Caruso wouldn't sniff the SL team.

    I could see Kuz as a small ball 5 really. Stretching the floor like that.
