Welcome Kyle! Not a lot of people are excited with you at 27 but that happened with Larry too

Don't know a lot about this kid. Someone give me a run down?

Looks like a JC clone. This means JC and 28 are getting flipped for PG

What Kyle Kuzma brings to the Lakers


Quote:
Kuzma registered great measurements for a combo forward, with a 7-0.25 wingspan and 222-pound weigh-in. While he’s not an explosive leaper (34-inch max vertical leap), he runs the floor really well and has light feet in half-court sequences.

His offensive potential is exciting because he’s a good cutter and slasher. Kuzma has great timing on dives toward the rim and flare cuts for jump shots, and he has a deft touch when he catches in position to score. He won’t be a high-level shot creator in the NBA, but he’ll effectively attack driving lanes with one or two dribbles.

Just what Lonzo needs .. a slasher and spot up shooter with speed.

I hope he can play the wing too.

He sounds like he's very athletic and defend well which is a big plus, plus he's a spot up shooter on offense which is something good for Ball to feed.

I wanted Bolden but I like the sound of Kuzma on paper.

No he's not that kind of athlete, to be able to play SF - only has maybe slightly abv average feet for a PF.
