He's shown enough this season to deserve patience and see where he is as a 2nd year. BI struggled mightily as a rookie and look at him now. Same with Randle.

Not a good shooting night for the Kuz but he still managed to hit some big treys. He was active on defense and finished one rebound away from a double-double.

His ceiling is definitely way higher than Clarkson’s...


I don’t think so, it is a good comparison. I was a big fan of JC, players like that are important to the team.


I thought VLF valued players who were good defenders. Kuz already as a rookie is a better defender than JC 3 years in.

I couldn’t agree with that, but I have never been one to be impressed with hype.

He shot the ball well, and only 1 TO. Nicely done.

Future is so damn bright.

I thought this was one of his better games, probably best game since the celtics game.

Surprised at the commentary in here.. Kuz is a stud, his current struggles should be expected.. he is a rookie after all.

I think he can be most productive at sf. He has no chance defensively at pf.

For some reason a bucket load of people on here say that he would be useless as a SF. I beg to differ.

People trashed Luke for taking out Kuzma for his bad shot selection earlier in the season even tho he was knocking down shots. Only difference now is he’s still taking bad shots but not making them

Jordan Clarkson-esque.

Detrimental when he's not making shots.

Trashing a rookie for playing like one is haterism at it's finest.
