Kuzma kicked off his NBA career Friday night with the LA Lakers in their summer league opener against the LA Clippers. Kuzma is in no way the headliner of the team, especially with Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram playing, the last two No. 2 picks in the NBA Draft, but Kuz had a solid game overall.
He came off of the bench, and played 27 minutes, only Ball and Ingram had more, and pitched in 8 points on 3 of 8 shooting, while going 0 of 3 from downtown. That’s going to be key for Kuz, is him hitting the three on a consistent basis.
