After numerous seasons of being focused on the development of young core, the Los Angeles Lakers are now on a completely different path.
The team is now full of players with a ton of experience, including some who’ve won championships. The notable exception, of course, is Kyle Kuzma.
Only in his third season, Kuzma has never tasted the NBA playoffs and really hasn’t played in any truly meaningful games in his career. With the Lakers eyeing an extended playoff run, the team will surely be reliant on Kuzma, but playing at a championship level on the biggest stage is something he has never experienced.
