We are less than two days away from the NBA Draft, and Utah’s Kyle Kuzma will be anxiously waiting to see if his name gets called. Kuzma took a risk in leaving early, and staying in the Draft, but that gamble could pay off big come Thursday night.

Kuz had a great NBA Draft Combine, and really started to make a name for himself around Draft circles. He’s also made the rounds around the NBA to do a lot of workouts for teams, and reports are that he’s had some impressive workouts. I always pegged him as a 2nd rounder, at best, with what I saw in school, but it appears he’s made some improvements to his perimeter game, specifically his jump shot and some of his ball handling.
