With the 27th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Utah power forward, Kyle Kuzma. It was a selection that confused plenty of people. Kuzma was believed to be a stretch to be selected at No. 27. However, Kuzma has begun to prove those doubters wrong.
During the pre-draft process, a lot of attention was paid to Kuzma’s shooting percentages in college. Kuzma is a gifted scorer, but his range was limited as he wasn’t a great three-point shooter.
That didn’t stop the Lakers from liking what they saw in workouts.
