Obviously this is the most important game of Kuzma's life. The one that will tell us everything we need to know about him as a player and as a man.

lol no, but if he starts and does well around AD-Bron, it gives Vogel some options. I like how Mike _at_ LG calls AD-Bron cheat codes in terms of positions in lineups. You pretty much can put them on any spot on the floor on either side of the ball.

I think Kuz will be a starter in anytime that one of the starting 5 is out. It will be good for continuity as well.

Kuz taking one of the guard positions on defense. Very unexpected. I wonder what Vogel is seeing in practice that makes him thing that this will work.

I would say it’s more expected than not. Vogel mentioned how much Kuzma has progressed as a perimeter defender wanted to put him more in this position.

Very hopeful it works out.

OK. If it does work out, the potential lineups that Vogel has available increases significantly.

Yeah, I don't expect him to overtake the role full time or anything especially early on but this is the luxury Vogel has and is willing to experiment with or even let Kuz grow over the season if he sees the potential there. No question he has the talent and has showed he is willing to work as well so it's time for both Vogel and Kuz to find ways to use him best. This is def. the time to experiment. If he was able to take on this role he's on his way to becoming a helluva swiss army knife kind of role player.

I also think he looks at Kuz as a perfect guy to fill in for resting/injured players in the starting lineup which he excelled at all last season.
