Kyle Kuzma - GTA (Grand Theft Association)

Me and Ty did evil things to the other Kyle Kuzmamma threads in an attempt to keep it concise... So in the event we can't fix the other thread, feel free to post your Kuzma idolatry here.

Kuz was Kobe-esc last night

17 in the 4th. Got that new spin move and those behind the back passes.

Go Kuz!

This is why I don't slightly doubt whether he'll recover from a shooting slump whenever he is in one. The dude's confidence is incredible...and he's making less than two million dollars for the next two years after this! If this is his peak, this peak was still an incredible steal.

He talked anout his mental approach post game. He tries not to even remember if the last shot went in or not. He knows he can make it every time.

The logic was Kobe-esc. I’m excited. I’m not saying he’s the next Kobe. I’m saying we got a steal.

as long as Kuz embraces the mamba mentality he will maximize his potential. Very exciting.

I know you aren't claiming this but just speaking in 'in the worst case scenario' but even in the worst case scenario there's just no way he's peaking at age 22 when he has no signifcant holes in his offensive game. This isn't a Ben simmons or Tyreke evans situation where teams just go "okay, lets just let him shoot and block off his drive" Kuzma has too many skills.

He talks a big game and backs it up. No BS also. Says it as it is.

Kuzma should be a Laker for life. He and Ball and Ingram should stick together. Can't go wrong with that trio long term if they stay healthy. What a steal, indeed!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'd love Bradley next to Zo and Ingram on the perimeter. If George plans on staying in OKC then Bradley would be a great back up option. With how bad things have gotten in Detroit I don't see him sticking around.

The further we get into the season the less I begin to think that Cousins will leave New Orleans.

I like KCP's defense. I think they're both on par there. Offensively, I like Bradley's potential over KCP's hit or miss kind of game. His age is right.

I'd keep DMC out of it unless for a bargain sticker price. Why? Defense.
