Bron has to be willing to step out of his comfort zone and actually play the four for Kuz to hit the bench.


like I said...when we put it all together this year we don't go far with Kuz starting

I just don’t see it man. The past few seasons has brought the eternal pessimist out in me. And lebron still has diva tendencies such as not wanting to play the 4 despite clearly not being at husband best playing the 3. More.

I'm rooting for Kuzma but he needs to be traded if you want to see him as a great player in this league. He's too caught up in Los Angeles.

If he can't shoot, he's a bench player who can occasionally get hot.

The thing that bugs me the most about Kuz, is that like BI, he seems FULLY self aware. He just doesn’t stick to the changes he makes. 4 games straight with terrific d, 4 games of terrific passing,... and 4 games with terrific rebounding. But he always reverts back. I’m gonna hold out hope, for a change. It the clock is definitely ticking.

I think a lot of that was coaching and the constantly changing roles...

Possibly,.. but defense, ball movement and rebounding should not change regardless of role.

I don't think he will ever be a great rebounder but the right coach could teach him to box out he was starting to move his feet on d at times....Svi has heavy feet like Kuz but moves his feet well to make up for some of it...I was hoping Svi could teach him some good defensive footwork....ball movement is coaching imo

Uh, when he elbowed Harden, absolutely, 100%. If more players did that to that POS faking flopper and put his ref-fueled shtick to an end, the NBA would be much more entertaining watch.

Kuz is one of the young core that I have the most faith in to have a bounce back season. He seems to have the most drive to be great and wants the LA spotlight. Not too sure anyone can say the same about BI/ZO

I'm hoping Kuz can develop more of his game, because as we saw last season, when his shot isn't falling he doesn't give this team much

Both situations were warranted. Sometimes you gotta smack a bish

Kuz working on the two things that can make him great. His shot and his defense. LethalShooter and MWP.

While still working on his ball handling!!!See this is why I can't stand bipolar fans that always throwing shade at our younger players especially Kuz. The thing people seem to forget is that kuzma is a hard worker and very self aware he knows what he needs help with and goes out and trys to get better!Remember he's a steal where we drafted him and is worth every bit of his contract and more,but everytime he turns around it slander kuzma sucks,kuzma getting traded,kuzma is Jordan clarkson,kuzma trash etc. I have said this several times and I stick to it You don't bet against people like him especially with our track record of trading or cutting our young core for someone else to benefit.
