Los Angeles Lakers: 2 players that should have been picked over Kyle Kuzma

Kyle Kuzma has had an interesting career thus far with the Los Angeles Lakers and he is only in his third season. Coming out of college, Kuzma was the big surprise of the 2017 NBA Draft, and if was not for Donovan Mitchell‘s great rookie year, Kuzma would have been the best sleeper pick of the draft.

He came out of the gates sprinting in the NBA, averaging 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. Compared to second overall pick Lonzo Ball, and even second-year forward Brandon Ingram, Kuzma’s start was lightning fast.
