"I'd encourage Luke Walton to play Kuzma more at the power forward position as he could set ball screens and pop out for three-point shots..."

I've always liked this guy.

Nice to hear he was able to graduate, even with one year left. Respect.

Kuzma is nice and suited for the NBA game. I believe it's only a matter of time in terms of him being a starter. He's definitely going to get minutes. If the Lakers want to open up and make room for a Bigger Name Player closer to the deadline, Kuzma would easily slide into the starting role.

Doubling up on classes and loading up on credits to graduate a year early is pretty tough to do, particularly if you have to devote time in the evenings and weekends to playing competitive college basketball. Definitely - Respect.

We are on Kuzma thread #17 and the season hasn't even begun yet lol. But yes, he's looking like a steal thus far.

I dunno if we have the steal of the draft. Kuzma looks capable of being productive as a scorer in his first season, so for a late first round pick, that's nice value.

The guy who may be the steal of the 2017 draft seems to be Dennis Smith at the moment, a top three quality draft pick taken at #9.

I still think Jordan Bell is going to last a long time in this league for a mid-second round selection, so maybe he's got the inside track to be the long term steal of the draft.

Smith is the reason I wouldnt have minded trading down and Bell is the guy I was hoping the Lakers would buy another 2nd to draft.

I wanted Bell too, but we got Kuz so I'm happy. Probably unrealistic to draft Kuz and then Bell with #30 b/c we needed guards after trading DLO.
