Laker Film Room: Kyle Kuzma’s defensive issues

Former Utah Jazz head coach and NBA treasure Frank Layden once frustratedly asked a player, “Son, what is it with you? Ignorance or apathy?” Without a hint of irony, the player deadpanned, “I don’t know, and I don’t care.” Kyle Kuzma’s rookie season featured a lot of “I don’t know, and I don’t care” on the defensive end, as he was content to make his mark as a scorer without a passing interest in getting stops.

At least he has some self-awareness.

The streets have spoken! @joshhart your roasting is TRASH if it’s worse than my defense last year.
