Just shows how Kuz has earned the job since his rookie year.

Kuz averaging 20 but only 4 rebounds, 1 assist and shooting like 27% from 3. He really needs to play better

Yea honestly he looks okay thus far.. but he'll improve as he settles into a position other than center.

Criminally, criminally underrated by Laker fans, particularly younger ones.

I still think BI and Lonzo are slightly overrated (by Laker fans) vs. their contribution thus far (yes I know Lonzo was good according to advanced stats last year) and Kuz is really underrated.

‘We got to do what we do best and that’s run’

Whoever start or off the bench, all players in this team have to play aggressively and hustle every single minute. In fact, we’ve mixed the starting unit and second unit quite often over the past 5 games. Hart has done good jobs consistently whatever start or not. Ball has play well with start unit or second unit except first game. And Kuzma has play well with or without LeBron.

Whoever start, the whole squad must play under a theme. We’re going to beat teams by outrunning them, especially those team with weak bench or slow pace. Outrunning will be our major weapon and identity and it should be kept throughout 48 minutes

Don't disrupt the chemistry and momentum we've built the last three games. When and if it runs its course then look to make changes. Luke said the other four starter spots needed to be earned and I hope he sticks by his word.

Kuz is the backup to Lebron and AD... He's not going to start. And he's not going to get much run at guard either, not when they have KCP, Wes, THT, and Caruso, and Schroder as their guards. Kuzma can play emergency minutes there but he's would be by far our weakest guard defender of the bunch.

He was great tonight. It's nice to have a guy who can slide into the starting lineup and have a big impact. But the that won't change the fact that the guys he are backing up are two of the top five players in the league. Nor will it morph him into a guard.

He's playing very well though.

Unfortunately he’s best starting spot is PF, and we have AD there. Kuz is too slow and too inconsistent of a shooter for the starting SG spot, and he’s too small even as a small ball era starting center.

Kuz at the 2 can either look like:

- Andrew Wiggins (same height and lanky) when he was playing the 2 in Minny

Or if Kuz becomes a consistent shooter like he's starting to show so far in just 3 games this season...

- Duncan Robinson (similar height and build) who's been starting at the 2 for Miami, but better because Kuz can actually play defense

Let's say we start Kuz at the 2. Against a team like Portland (2 small guards), who holds CJ?
