He deserves at least an 80 ovr

[@_jizl_]

Can be a legit 3 level scorer if he can ever stay healthy man. Kuz miss alot of shots but that's just him not having the consistent minutes to get in a good flow night in and out. He'll be a good player when he gets stronger. Also need to continue to WORK on defense

[@magnusdevries803]

cant help but love this dude

[@zoommash7238]

Kuzma has a special talent in his offense that I rarely see in other players except for Kobe Bryant. He is not super explosive and powerful like Zion Williamson but he has a special flair that is hard to describe in words. His basketball IQ in offense is unbelievable. If Zion Williamson is the new powerhouse and machine, then Kyle Kuzma is the new artist. The thing is that he needs a team to build around him and a system to fully support him and to convince him that he is the team‘s best player. LBJ is no doubt the best player for lakers, but he is 35. Lakers need to think about future. I wish Kuzma will stay and form the formidable duo with AD. I have been watching lakers since Phil Jackson’s era. I want to eventually see Kuzma-AD replicating a partnership like Kobe-Shaq in the past.

[@jacobhollingsworth4914]

AGREED 100%. Don't slack on his defense either. He has held the likes of Kawhi Leonard and Jayson Tatum. While AD got torched by both on the same night. Bron needs to make room like Gordon and Kemba have done for Brown and Tatum.

[@jaystrong719]

the room has been made,kuzma needs to take that next step like tatum..its easy to put up points when unloading and it's not efficient, winning basketball is different,and that's why he struggled at first..gotta get used to big boy ball

[@jacobhollingsworth4914]

@Jaleel Og but he was before this season. So sit down, dude.

[@idkman8958]

Jaleel Og last season he was better than Ingram

[@idkman8958]

Jaleel Og their efficiency is similar besides the fact that kuzma had better ft%

[@leonnevels8912]

If JASON TATUM were a Lakers, they would be holding him back just like they are doing Kuzma. ANYBODY CAN PLAINLY SEE GREEN IS A SECOND UNIT PLAYER. KUZMA DESERVES TO BE A STARTER....PERIOD !

[@leonnevels8912]

Every time Kumza outscored & played Tatum before the Lakers started handcuffing him.It is the Lakers coaches & LBJ.....they are handcuffing Kumza.The Celtics are not doing that to Tatum.If they did,he would be inconsistent too.Handcuffing Kumza is so damn obvious.They also be hurting Rundo too.These are players that are being handcuffed until the LAKERS got to use them.I SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. THEY DO TOO. BUT BLIND FUCKERS ONLY SEE WHAT THAT THEY WANT TO SEE.....LBJ & AD ! TWO PLAYERS RUINING THE REST .But LBJ IS SO GREAT.....I GUESS WE CAN EXCUSE HIS MONEYRENCHING KUMZA.

[@jacobhollingsworth4914]

@Erick Ortiz you're saying that because you're a LAKERS fan and you see Kuz everyday. Look at the numbers. Tatum was just as bad when he had Irving for two seasons and avged 15pts. Not much a difference. Kuz and Tatum are on the same level.

[@jaystrong719]

he is really stupid..he made a couple of these dumb comments

[@jaystrong719]

tatum also led a team to the ECF without kyrie,and is also leading boston this year..the difference is one guy has been on winning teams,and the other guy put up points while losing

[@user-kz8zn1jg1y]

Leon Nevels no.. i love kuz, but it’s not lbj or ad’s fault lol. he’s an amazing player and one of my favorites, but kuzma holds himself back sometimes. his offensive and defensive awareness is inconsistent, but he’s a rhythm player. if he starts off confident he’s gonna play well the rest of the game. but it’s hard to get someone like that started when you already have great offensive players that don’t need all the volume shots. i definitely believe he should be starting though, and if ad would just play center for us it’d make our team a whole lot better. a lineup with Avery, DG/KCP, LeBron, Kuz, and AD would be amazing. but we have a good system rn. we don’t need to change anything.

[@leonnevels9596]

Look at how Jordan Clarkson is shining with the Jazz.He is playing for his former college coach Quinn Synder. Clarkson is not being held back or handcuffs by teams & coaches who don't like him.

[@jaystrong719]

the jazz in contention for a championship ?

[@07boxingfan]

The knicks will get him and he will shine

[@leonnevels8912]

James acts like King Saul acted toward Young David in his power tripping.Sometimes too much control by a Superstar ends up destroying players like INGRAM, RANDLE,& KUZMA.

[@DonCheetoss]

For you. Don't forget that he made Mozgov relevant for once.

[@2kolbe010]

Ingram is an iso scorer

[@dinero8069]

I mean he’s the better player, so Kuzma should play around him. Kuzma knows that and so does LeBron. The point is to win, not to see who’s stats are better. In my opinion LeBron doesn’t treat Kuzma bad. He gives him props for scoring, he passes the ball to him, he’s pay attention to Kuzma, and he’s a good teammate. He knows when he can make a better play though, and that’s just because he’s 35 with more experience. I don’t think he feels threatened or thinks Kuzma should do bad.

[@johnrivers1327]

Bring Kuzma home to Detroit for D. 🌹 this off-season.

[@TheRapBoy2]

I love Kuzma but.. I wanna see him at least at the playoffs to dunk like a krazy mothafuka like he did the past years. In dis year he ain't got the energy and the passion I wanna see from him. Make it or brake it nigga, come one! Lakers for the 17x 💛💜

[@Smokedawggggg]

His own teammates even said that if AD wasn’t in the line up then he would avg 20 in his sleep, you got 2 all stars who avg 25 plus🤷🏽‍♂️

[@rovykafe9093]

SIXTHMAN award for KUZMA

[@leonnevels8912]

Kuzma is actually the Lakers 3rd man.He is unstoppable when all is going his way,but he is not a consistently good defensive player. James is the Lakers first man because he does almost everything better the rest.AD is second because he's both a pretty good scorer & defensive player .

[@AmpuyakanTV]

Kuzma

[@leonnevels9596]

A lot of you all don't realize that handcuffing players like Kumza is what makes him inconsistent. He told LAKERS coaches he is a rhythm player.Their reply was... Sorry but we're gonna play you anyway we see fit.THAT IS THE PROBLEM...THEIR NOT PLAYING KUMZA LIKE THEY SHOULD. IF THEY DID,KUZ WOULD BE AVERAGING OVER 26 POINTS A GAME. ...JUST LIKE INGRAM DO. SURE HE MIGHT HAVE OFF NIGHTS FROM TIME TO TIME.BUT EVERY NBA PLAYER OR STAR HAS OFF NIGHTS IN THEIR CAREER.

[@jacobhollingsworth4914]

@Erick Ortiz what did Ingram avg last season?🤔 less than Kuzma. All that name calling and you're the one with the lowest I.Q. you only see what's in front of you. And what the media tells you to see. NO I.Q. Kuzma avged more than Ingram across the board last season when they played together so how are you saying Ingram is a better player when we've seen what happens when they are on the court together?🤔 not to mention Kuz has locked up damn near every superstar in the league this season you clearly don't watch ball and listen to hype. Lonzo, B.I and Kuz all had the same Defrtg last season how ignorant and impressionable are you? Kuz been defending you're just clearly ignorant. Kuz has caught WAY more bodies than Ingram don't matter how high he jumps if he is going with a purpose. Plenty players had low bounce and poked on folks every possession but you're clearly not a big bball fan if you think iso ball is the only type of offense to be played. Those are offenses that don't get a ring, sir. Kuz is good in plenty iso situations and his handle has been getting stronger. Was he suppose to be perfect coming into the league?😆😆 he's in his 3rd season.🤡

[@jacobhollingsworth4914]

@Erick Ortiz you clearly don't watch ball, dawg. Kuz embarrassed Ingram once again and every time they play each other just stop it. Only person that competed with Kuz has been Tatum. Doncic kill everybody though, lol.

[@user-kz8zn1jg1y]

Erick Ortiz you’re the causal lmao. i don’t even exactly agree with the original comment but you’re just flat out ignorant LMAOO.

[@jeffreyware8778]

@Erick Ortiz you sound like the casual fan shut the hell up

mans have a bad season and gets hella hated on. like did you bandwagoners not know he just came off a 20 ppg season?

[@thatgameroverthere7508]

please get kuzma out of la it will be good for him

[@leonnevels8912]

James don't like Kuzma. Go back & watch James' obvious displeasure toward Kuzma in their game against the Spurs. When Cardwell Pope.missed a corner 3 pointer,Kuzma got the offensive rebound & .successfully scored a 3 pointer, James" true color showed to be against Kuzma' successfulness.Nobody seemed to notice it., but It was mighty obvious.

[@juniorfernandez5463]

Where its that?

[@leonnevels8912]

@@juniorfernandez5463 LBJ body's language gave him away.Kumza is primarily a scorer first.LBJ is whatever he cares to be in any given situation which is ok.So when Kuzma doesn't ball the way LBJ prefers to ball,James' negative feelings surface.You might not believe this but James didn't care for Kobe Bryant's way of helping his team to win. Why not ? Because Kobe didn't always trust his teammates in crutch time situations,he refused to pass the ball to them when the game was on the line.LBJ WILL PASS THE BALL REGARDLESS.

[@juniorfernandez5463]

Okay.. but where is the video or the sequence thats the play u saying happened? Or what time in this video is?

[@leonnevels8912]

@@juniorfernandez5463 In the Lakers last game against the Spurs,Cardwell Pope shot a 3 pointer.His shot bounced off the rim.Kumza outhustled the Spurs players for the rebound and then dribbled behind the 3 point line....took & hit the 3 pointer. Instead of James showing support his body language indicated he was non-supportive & displeased.Watch the video. It's on KZbin. I am a LBJ follower. Always been. But anybody can be wrong sometimes.KOBE USED TO BE WRONG LIKE THAT TOO.I will not overlook it because I like KOBE.

[@juniorfernandez5463]

Okay i will look at the video first and then im going to tell u my opinion

[@Fan-tk8ee]

He is so inconsistent though 🤦‍♂️

[@zerrotiii7135]

I dnt like he’s foot work seems meh
