I hope that he can work on what ever Luke needs him to work on so he can be starting. |
He has to show he is willing to play defense first. Of our 3 PFs, he is third in that category. |
Agree.
I know the drtg says his lineups arent bad in giving up points, but man, you can see he gets lost on weak side defense. |

Kyle just does not fit in with the second unit though. Been loving me some JC and Randle recently but JC always pounds the rocks too much/tries to get his and same kinda goes with Randle when they're out there with Kuz.
There was a string of possessions where the both of them would just pass it back and forth to each other and shoot it. Must've had an effect on Kuz because the following possession he had a wide open Randle on an inbound but forced it to Hart who gave it back to him and he launched an early 3. Next possession I think he also took a ill-advised shot. |

I think Kyle is perfect on the bench if Randle starts over Nance _________________ Austin Reaves

Today Kuzma learned that the ball can hit the top of the backboard and still be in play. He's so cute. |

14 rebs and the block was nice.
Really looked like he was trying harder on off ball defense. I like! |

He had some bad lapses though. However, one thing to note is how bad KCP's interior defense is. I mean he doesn't even try to offer resistance. One play Kuz had to help him so much that he got burned on the kick-out. _________________

His first rotation the D wasn’t very good but in the second half he was much, much better. Like most rookies it might be another year or so before he figures it out. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

He's got to be back in the starting lineup, they're much better with him as a starter. |

About as weird as not noticing that we lost the four previous to that when he wasn't starting. |

Doesn't even challenge interior shots, offers no resistance in the post and sometimes runs away when the shots aren't even dunks at times. He should be taking a lot more charges. _________________
