Kuz is so much better without the ball and scored with ease. I hope BI is watching!!!!

Watch Luke bench Kuz again after a couple of mediocre games while BI keeps starting no matter what.

Most definitely. The fit would be great. Ingram gets to run the show with the 2nd unit and own opposing 2nd unit players, while the current lineup continues to do its thing.


The problem is, Luke and Magic are so enamored of him, I'm not sure they'd make him play that role.

I can see that.
Jamison was much better getting to the free throw line. That's the next facet that Kuz needs to add to become an All Star level player.

Kuz seems to have gotten his legs back. I think he burned himself out this summer.

Kuzma clearly has taken over the #2 role and has really excelled in all facets of the game. Great to see all his work is really paying off.

Just in time.

What I love is that in the games I've watched (which hasn't been all of them), his good play has looked pretty sustainable. It's not just a random hot streak on his 3 ball or whatever. Not to imply he'll sustain these exact numbers of course but I'm not expecting a huge regression to the mean.

They could start Ingram I guess. But then after 2-4 minutes, have Hart come in the game for Ingram, then either with 1 min left in the 1st or start of the 2nd quarter, bring Ingram back in.

There. A way to compensate for Ingram to still start but have him stagger with the bench at the same time.

Hopefully dumb dumb Luke figures that out when Ingram comes back tho.

Kuz's shaking off the early season jitters from being put in a different role. He's been great ever since we got TC so he didn't have to play at the 5 anymore...lol. Kuz is definitely making a strong bid to be starter over Ingram. I like Hart at the 2 because of his 3-pt shooting. This current starting lineup of Ball/Hart/Bron/Kuz/McGee is PERFECT!

If that's the case then I think people would rightfully question why start Ingram at all? Ingram's not an idiot and he'd know what Luke is doing. It comes off as weasel-y to me.

It depends on the refs sadly. Kuz drove to the basket a lot tonight but only got 1 call for him.

Refs only reward floppers these days so he needs to develop dat James Harden “skill” in him.....which is garbage but only thing he can do to get calls anymore.

I could definitely see Kuz and Hart staying in the long run and not Lonzo and BI

So glad he found his confidence again. Dude has been rockin'. If there's a way to get Ingram to play a little more like that (looking a little more to pass than score), we could be very dangerous.

Solidified himself as the #2 option. Will be interesting to see how Ingram tries to integrate himself.
