If you put Kuz's offensive game and BI's defense you'd basically have Tatum.

Well, he hasn't officially made that choice but after last night, I think it's clear that Kuz is a 4/3. |
Has he really realized it or he is doing what he is because he has no other option? |
I bet Luke will try Kuz at center again. Luke hasn't realized anything yet. |

I'm a big Lonzo believer.
But I can also try to be objective and say Tatum is a stud.

| Jayson Tatum aka the next Michael Jordan is averaging 17.5 on 43% FG and 26% from 3 so far. He is boarding nicely though, but I'm not sure the HOF is ready to call just yet. |

BI's defense was sorely missed. But I think the LBJ/Kuz synergy is fantastic, and maybe BI starts but has some minutes when LBJ sits.
So:
Start: BI/LBJ as forwards.
1st rotation: BI out and Kuz in. (Kuz/LBJ)
2nd rotation: LBJ out and BI back in. (Kuz/BI)
3rd rotation: LBJ in (BI/LBJ).
I don't think BI's personality is assertive enough with LBJ and he will sort of disappear. But as a lead on a non LBJ unit he may be more assertive. |
BI's defense can be replaced by Hart who is becoming a phenomenal player
McGee
Kuz
Bring
Hart
Lonzo
Would be my starting lineup |
Mine, too |

You know, if Kupchak hadn't traded for Steve Nash, they could've drafted Miles Bridges this year. I bet Miles Bridges is at least 60% of Jayson Tatum.

Nobody said he’s the next Michael Jordan. Somewhere in between Paul George and Kobe Bryant though. He sure looked a lot like Mamba with that clutch turnaround J against NY. |

Or 90% of Zion Williamson. or better than him |

Blasphemy!

| Kuzma can’t do the things that Randle can (rebound, defend, bully). But there are plenty of things Kuz does that Randle could never do. I know they’re not the same type of player, and yes we could still have both if the FO didn’t mess with Randle all season, but games like last night showed why the Lakers were willing to part with Randle. Not bad for a 27th pick. Too bad the small ball center thing isn’t working out for Kuz right now. |

I always thought his 3 point shooting was a fluke. I think he'll settle in as just average from deep.

Whoever he is, I agree with him. Luke needs to start Zo, Hart, Bron, Kuz, and McGee |

Hahaha. That guy said Lebron choked at the end?
Give me a break.
Your grandson, if it is Kuz's real grandpa, sucks on defense. Wonder why Houston targeted him? Wonder why when you see a lack of communication on defense and 2 guys roll to one offensive guy leaving the other offensive guy open happens to include Kuzma being one of the 2 defenders?
So I agree, while BI and Rondo are out, Kuz should start. That's obvious. But when they return, it's not as cut and dry. Stop looking at only one side of the floor, gramps. |

Nah, Kuz should start over BI. Zo over Rondo and Hart over KCP. |

I'm with you for 2 out of the 3 spots.
For BIvKuz aka BvK aka BruceVsKent aka BatmanVSuperman, I'd like to see how Kuz does the next 3 games. Maybe he slaps the hardwood floor and buckles down on defense. Then it's a no-brainer who should start at SF... Svi. |
