he's fearless and skilled and Versatile

[@rudystraight1750]

Already has 1000+ points in his first year

[@eda639]

Rudy Straight not that rare lol

[@rudystraight1750]

Ed A never said it was rare dummy. Just saying thats potential

[@Lindberg1984]

Yes he sure did Rudy and he was the first rookie ever in NBA history to record 1000 points, 400 rebounds and 130 3´s. And for you non-believers, here´s a link :) #Kuzmania clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-kyle-kuzma-first-rookie-nba-history-record-1000-points-400-rebounds-130-made-three-pointers/

[@rickyqueen2621]

I love how unpredictable kuzma's offensive game is! He does a little bit of everything. It's hard to shut down a player like Kyle because he's not a one dimensional scorer. You can try to play him close to take away the three ball, but he can put the ball on the floor and finish at the rim with a variety of different shots. Even a running hook! Kuzma is DEFINITELY NOT just Hype! He's the REAL thing, and he's gonna be an NBA All-star REALLY soon.

[@Baye1980]

Ricky Queen I think Kuz will be an all star next year if he's the starting sf.

[@georgietavera323]

Bro you deserve more likes !!!!!!

[@LetsBuildThatApp]

His offensive game is there. Let's hope his defensive game takes a leap in 2018-19. Kuz has a chance of making lakers relevant again.

[@dannycamello6106]

Zo, Ingram, and Randle are also going to play a part in that. Can't forget about Hart either.

[@seanturner3447]

if he improves his handles he'll be unstoppable offensively

He gets to learn from Lebron!

[@kennythomas6625]

kuz gotta turn back into this typa player 2020-2021 no cap, we need him for a 3rd option

[@HoodieTyz_]

Can’t expect him to shine when LA used him to just stand there and shoot. He’s an offensive threat in the right offense

[@thinkon3806]

Lakers said they want position-less basketball and Kuz embodies that ideology.

[@musiconcloud17]

He has the mindset of a SG, the slashing ability of a SF and the post up ability of a PF.

[@Hut9111]

Look at the players they've signed and drafted since magic took over. They're all long and and can either shoot or pass with the best of them. Lonzo is long and has the potential to be all defensive team for a long time and likes to get the ball out of his hand quickly to the best available person to score. Kuzma is such a jem, a player who in his rookie year who can fearlessly create his own bucket or play off the ball and shoot. Svi shows flashes of the next klay Thompson, I live in Kansas and I'm so surprised with what I'm seeing from him, he seemed to hit a peak by his second year with Self at KU. When I saw he was 6'8" I almost lost it, a steal by taking the best shooter in the league in the second round. Josh Hart is tenacious on both ends of the floor and he's very smart with his shot discipline. 90% of his shots are either 3's or within 3 feet, he can pass and plays much bigger than he actually is especially on defense, him and KCP might flip back and forth in minutes. Beasley is a walking bucket with one of the smoothest shots in the game, his scoring will come in bunches off the bench and I see him playing time behind lebron at the 4 and some time as a small ball 5 where his shooting/driving potential could stretch the floor more than Draymond can with the warriors. Lance is most likely there to bring a Vet with toughness to help embolden the team. Javale is the perfect running or standing long runer to put along side all of these play makers, and his rim protection is the first time in his career that lebron has played with a true rim protecting big. Also that's the first time I've mentioned Lebron and I don't think I need to even say anything about what he will bring to this team. I see so much potential, I predict they lead the league in pace and points, I predict that their defense will be somewhere between 20 and 15 but I think that will be a byproduct of the pace. I predict they are top 3 in point differential, and I predict 53-58 wins of 3-6 seed.

[@ninjachannel007]

Such an instinctive scorer. Gets near the cup and just always knows the correct way to elevate. Can't teach that; legend potential.

[@chiokebarbour7492]

Right. Kyle Kuzma is certainly fundamentally sound. Now they add Lebron, I guess its showtime in Los Angeles

[@swalehsuheil4524]

the boy is going to be a star

His form looks more natural before tbh

He's definitely more of a SF, versatile, can shoot, and isn't that heavy to carry out the PF spot. Amazing selection by the Lakers.

Best laker by far

Do not trade kuzma 👏👏👏👏👏

[@elizabethhartman6690]

I pray that the Lakers 🙏 don't trade him!

[@dj-dt1vv]

everybody says kuzma reminds them of this person or that person. he has an odd game. im a big fan and I'm gonna blow some minds with this. but he reminds me so much of Ray Allen. less athletic, but more polished coming into the league. obviously they play entirely different positions and Ray was a better defender. but the jump shot is so similar. even the way they score in the mid range off the dribble has this awkward look to it but it works. ray had a lot of "stiffness" to his game, kuz is smooth. obviously ray is quicker bc he's a guard but I hope luke has kuzma running off screens next year. I don't think he did once all year but he'll dominate the years to come if he does

nahhhh

Sorry Pop, you can’t have him. Laker for life (I hope)

[@beatmobbable]

I hate the fact that the Lakers wants to stray away from the youth movement just to chase LeBron and what other free agent they can throw together.somebody's going to have to get traded and it's a shame because I really believe that this young Laker team in 2 more years can be playoff contenders. But I guess that's what happens when you have a fan base that feels like they have a sense of entitlement. I say that to say this Magic Johnson is going to make some moves so he can appease the Hollywood fan base but I think the real hardcore Lakers fan base is willing to sacrifice a couple of years just to build a strong Foundation they can be sustainable for years to come.

[@albertalbert5612]

Mark Swift .....they have the money. I wouldn't trade 3 young guys for k.Leonard. That's just bad business and Magic is a good business man. Just sign one big free agent , resign Randle.. and maybe some decent veterans just like they built the kobe/shaq dynasty. I'd offer Cousins or Capela. Cousins would fit better to this young team rather than Paul George. Obviously offer Lebron bc the lakers got $$$ to do so. .......but do not trade all the talented youth for K.Leonard who might be injury prone....I like his game but the spurs are just asking for so much.

Supheist994 Sit back & give Coach Walton what he likes = Veteran Scorers 😂😂😂. That's why Isaiah Thomas was able to score 16 points the 1st time he ever played with the Lakers & that's 16 points in the first half alone 😎😎😎. How does a point guard come to the NBA shooting same percentage from Free Throw line as Shaq ??? Youngbucks don't practice free throws in High School I guess. Kuzma is perfect for Golden State Warriors Motion Offense, but Luke Walton loves Brandon Ingram .

[@deandrepage1048]

Supheist994 Paul George is coming to the Lakers to take over leadership. 1.) Teach how to shoot free throws 2.) Teach Ingram how to Dribble-Drive middle plus cross-over dribble to his LEFT HAND against Help Defense at the Free Throw line to cut-down on 5&7-turnover games . 😂😂😂 By now you may have noticed that I coach basketball.
