The further away he is from the Kardashians, the better he plays. |

Time to forget about finding a 3rd option because this version of Kuzma is a all star level player. |

Kyle Kuzma the defender is a game changer for this team.
It’s the biggest surprise development this season. They will need his defense in the playoffs. |

The great part is that he can do so much more on offense than just spot up and shoot. I'm back on board. _________________ KOBE |

That was the best defensive game I’ve seen him play in his entire career. This dude locked up Kawhi and PG on multiple possessions |

Kuz had some bad moments, but, overall, he was good. Big time shot from him late in the game! |

Remember when people on this forum kept saying Kuz matches up well on defense with Kawhi and others were laughing and saying Kawhi would abuse Kuz one on one?
Heh heh heh |

Great great game by Kuz. He is definitely starting to take that level up and its great to see it. We lost many young players through the years but he is definitely one to stay for long period. When the moment comes for his contract no question Lakers should go for it. For me in next few years he will become the player the Lakers will be connected to. Like Fisher was or Rick Fox. Someone who is not the star but extremely important. |

Lakers biggest weakness for most of the season was finding that wing defender that can guard Kawhi, well until the team found out they already had that player the whole time on the roster. Crazy thing is that if this current Kuzma with legit defensive skills is able to still score at the same level of his first 2 years as a Laker is a legit All-Star caliber player and a borderline max player. In a way, the Lakers championship aspirations for the future depends on how Kuzma develops. If Kuzma ends up being just a nice role player, Lakers probably contend for another season or two, but if he ends up being even better than that, Lakers can legit contend for many years depending on the player Kuzma becomes to go along with a Prime AD. |

Some stupid fouls tonight. My heart skips a beat every time he's guarding someone who pump fakes.
But he hit shots and played with energy. Which is more than I can say about most of our team tonight. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

You could make a strong case that Kuzma should be starting right now, both KCP and Green have been trash. |

Swing the ball and don't premeditate plays is what I'm asking for
The defense is a good bonus. _________________ 💜💛 🏆 👀 🍖 #18!!! |

Offensively, Kuz starting is a really good idea. I'm just worried defensively if Kuz has to slide to a "2" position and guard smaller guards. Kuz did pretty good with Siakam yesterday but not with Lowry. |

Yea, a great thing about Kuz's defense now is that he's not jumping at every pump fake. Don't jump at ball fakes people. _________________ 💜💛 🏆 👀 🍖 #18!!! |
