One of these days he's gonna finish one. Would've been crazy. |
It is a skill to even get those attempts. He is going to do them with regularity rather soon. |

Remember when he said he compares himself to Lebron & Giannis, not rookies. He wasn't lying. |

It might sound crazy but if you look at his game and commitment, it doesn’t sound so crazy. He’s 6’9”, runs the floor, high iq, competent 3 point shooter, has great moves off the dribble, he’s an excellent shot maker and he just has 100% confidence in his game.
He has a chip on his shoulder. That motivation coupled with his well rounded game = |

I thought he would be a bigger Klay, but I have to revise that. He is better than that. Those running floaters of the fast break are ridiculous. |

He makes Lonzo's struggles more bearable. Thank the Lord for Kuz. |

Yea Klay can't do that.. I actually haven't seen a lot of players utilize the hook off the run like he does. |

The best thing about this kid is not his skillset but his mindset to the best player in the nba |

Klay couldn't finish at the rim early on. Must have been all that weed thought. |

Well, he can’t exactly shoot like Klay (yet, at least ) |

Quote: | Sixers Coach Brett Brown: "The Lakers were sort of on a similar path that we were on, trying to identify keepers, trying to identify franchise-type players. Those two guys (Kuzma and Ingram) I thought are just excellent." |

If there was any doubt about Kuzma's swagger, attempting to dunk on an Embiid who was a terror defensively should quell that. |

Kuuuuuuuuuz!
Man Kyle has that killer instinct trying to rip Embiid's head off. Not scared and doesn't back down.
Great fundamental player who has an all-around game and works hard on offense + defense.
Definitely a bright spot along with BI this year. |

Kuz is the GD man. What a wonderful, refreshing feeling to have a youngster this consistently competent for a change. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

Kuzma's steals/blocks numbers are microscopic. 0.4 steals per game, 0.1 blocks per game. |

Microscopic? you didn't see his giant scrotum swingging when he went up to dunk on Embiid? |

That is such a nit picking stat. He's been a major bright spot for this team. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |
