When one man is down, others get the chance to show what they’ve got. Can’t wait for THT to flash in garbage time.


That is true but the Lakers right now are a bit short on the SF depth bec of Kuzma. Vogel said Lebron and AD are getting their way against the 2nd team. Now you have to wonder who is covering Lebron now that Kuzma is out? The 6-5 KCP? who is tall enough to cover and challenge Lebron? Cacok is tall enough but he is more of a 4 and less mobile than most SFs. Also THT is listed as 6-4 and therefore may not be a great alternative to be the backup SF to cover Lebron in practice.

It’s good that Kuzma is targeted to be back when the regular season starts.

Yes, we do lack depth at forward, even when Kuzma is back. Gotta get Iggy.
