Kyle Kuzma is on a mission this season for his redemption with the Lakers. He seems on the right track after his card against the Timberwolves, which did not fail to react LeBron James.
We don’t stop the Lakers anymore. Following the setback conceded to the Clippers at the opening of the season, the reigning champions passed the second by crushing in quick succession the Mavericks then the Timberwolves. And during this last victory, one performance among the others is to be noted.
The best scorer of the match is indeed called Kyle Kuzma with 20 points (8/12 shooting), thanks to a huge first half. It was quite rare to see Kuzma achieve such a performance, and it was not to displease LeBron James, who praised his teammate.
LeBron on Kuz: « The game is slowing down for him. »
He said everybody knows about his ability to score the ball, but the evolution was shown in the play tonight where he dropped the transition dime to KCP. Making the extra pass, seeing plays before they develop.

Kyle Kuzma was not content to be precise in his shots, he also showed a remarkable vision of the game to serve his teammates. Here, LeBron is referring to a quick counterattack thrown at Kuz, who then delivers beautifully back to KCP with a “no-look pass”. We let you discover this “showtime” type action.

Like what, Kyle Kuzma is far from a hopeless case as claimed by part of the Lakers fanbase. Above all, it lacks consistency and this first performance is encouraging for the future.
