I look forward to trying him at the 3 during the regular season. If what he's doing in the summer league translates, then maybe he should be the primary backup 3. I certainly would rather see him than Deng or Brewer

One of the mods made an observation that he's a 4 with the game of a 3. Then we have BI, who is a 3, but as he fills out will be playing some 4. We'll have some elite level interchangeable parts with Ball orchestrating things.

In a couple of seasons we'll have the talent to change the landscape of the NBA.

I checked out a Nets Live Thread for the game over at SB Nation and when their fans weren't saying that they don't get the big deal about Lonzo they were on suicide watch that we got Kuzma with their pick.

Then they said it's only summer league and summer league doesn't count.


I did the same thing. They hated the Dlo trade at the onset before knowing how good Kuzma is. They are beside themselves right now and most are saying 'same old Nets' in regards to another stupid trade.


Kuzma is taking some of the heat off the DLO trade... which is good for us since the deal went through.

I love seeing the chemistry between Ball and Kuzma... like the play where Kuzma lasered the ball to Lonzo at the top of the key for a 3. Nice!

If Magic doesn't land FA next summer it was bonehead trade. Won't matter what Dlo does. Why would you trade for capspace when you can't even use it?

Lol Kuzma is already a much better and mature prospect than DLo and Brook a much better player than Moz who is also an expiring contract. Nothing boneheaded about it. We win this trade plain and simple and now we have at least the ability to sign a max free agent or two next season. You can keep living in the past if you want but most people have moved on already from DLo.

I was thinking about trading Kuzma to get rid of Deng contract right after the draft. But now, he is becoming that untouchable territory. I'm loving his game and confidence so much.

They have great chemistry on the floor already and seem like buddies off the court also based on the interview after the game.

As Kuzma said, Lonzo has his "head up" so Kuzma knows if he just runs the court hard the ball is coming.

Yep. Generous amount of thought given to a throwaway. The attempt to educate is doomed to fail, but it was a generous play by Pau's Beard.

I'd play him at C before I play him at SF. His skill/size mismatch is more impactful playing up a position rather than down.

I mean, just look at that space last night with him at C! It was glorious.

He is more advanced than BI was last year, though BI looks like a beast now. Offense is much better than Nance and he looks like he can play good perimeter defense against the smaller guys.

Anyway he is a steal at the 27th pick: Great Job front office


He is 22, Ingram was 18. 3 rebounds from your PF is bad, he needs to toughen up and grab some boards.

Kuz likes to run the floor and he knows with Zo, he will get he ball in his sweet spots. I have a good feeling he's going to be an important part of our rotation.

Kuzmanian Devil will be running with no breaks.

I'm already hopping.

All aboard.

I agree, I think he will play up and down a position.....he just part of that bigger goal of positionless basketball.

I think we can play kuz, pope and Ingram at the 2, 3 and 4. As much as our defense gets criticized, that's a pretty big chunk of your lineup with good defenders.

He makes one of Randle or Nance expendable. The Klay comparison is a good one if he can continue this hot shooting in the real season. I think the Pacers messed up big time by not trading PG to us.
