Kyle Kuzma is just tapping into what kind of player he can be in the NBA.
Recently, the sophomore has been taking his all-around game to new heights — elevating himself and his teammates with newfound passing, rebounding and defending.
But at his core, Kuzma is a gifted scorer, which he showed by dropping 33 points — the third-most of his young career — in the Lakers’ win over Miami on Tuesday.
While Kuzma’s 3-point shot has been chillier than expected this season (32 percent), his interior game has been excellent. This held up against the Heat, as he scored 22 of his point in the paint on a whopping 11-of-14 shooting.
