Los Angeles Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma has been a heap of fun to watch this season. In every sense of the word, he has exceeded the expectations that were placed on him.
Granted the Lakers shut him down due to an ankle injury, that does not diminish what he has done. In a city that has been feeling blue for multiple years, Kuzma has given the team a new sense of energy.
Part of it stems from his extreme amount of confidence. Every time Kuzma plays, he just looks fearless. Some of it, too, relates to his surprisingly decent ability to rebound the basketball.
