After a successful showing in his first playoffs, Kyle Kuzma has built upon that during the 2020-21 season. Although Kuzma is capable of carrying more of an offensive burden, he has happily accepted his role off the bench as a rebounder and hustle guy.
His knack for making winning plays has drawn praise from teammates like Anthony Davis and he is a large reason why the team sits at 17-6.
In the Los Angeles Lakers’ latest win against the Denver Nuggets, Kuzma scored a respectable 11 points but added two offensive rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 25 minutes.
