If you're comparing him to LeBron or Durant probably. But average isn't where Kuzma's handle is. He's very above average.

"Just another average athlete with average shot creating and handle at the 3"



1:12 - 1:40

The chase off the three point line and the handle to get to the basket on the next play. Both at the 3.

Yep...average....

lol whatever you say.


His handle is very inconsistent.. he's had quite a few moments this year trying to do dribble moves where he failed and didn't look like a wing in that aspect (a couple times in clutch situations beyond the 3pt line, asked to create.. it was dreadful)
But with the good flashes, overall you have to obviously say his handle is above average for a PF. He's made a couple good moves recently..but you can't say the handle is really legit off those couple moves

Correct! He is well above average in both athleticism and handles. It is evident when he blows by defenders on his drives. My favorite part of his game (aside from his sweet 3's) is his utilization of the glass. I haven't seen anyone use the glass as effectively as Kuz since Tim Duncan.

Why? He's well ahead for a rookie and is playing out of position like Luke just said.

Yes, I thought he played well overall, especially considering he was out of position.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuz. The kid is playing a lot of minutes lately. 14 points and 10 rebounds tonight. He needs to work on his D.

He missed some rotations and got overpowered by Lebron (no shame there). It’s been obvious since he became a Laker that he needs to be coached up defensively and they need to start with his horrible stance. Let’s allow him an offseason to improve.

MAMBA

Haters suck it, mentally nobody is more of a killer than Kuz on our team. If we're a competitive team, Kuz is a mix of big shot Rob and Kobe with a scent of Brian Cook

His D has been crap all game... one of the reasons Chandler has had such a good game. However, it makes such a difference for this team when he is hitting his 3s.

His D tonight against Milsap in the 2nd half was good. Made him work for his shots.

Kuzma on one ankle has more heart than that entire Nuggets team combined.

Amazing job Kuz!

And came up like a boss in the 4th on one ankle.

Hope he’s good to go tomorrow. Gonna need that scoring and rebounding.

Oof has a noticeable limp going off the court after his interview. Hope it doesn’t balloon up overnight. We literally have no bodies left.
