Kyle Kuzma is shooting an eFG% of 78% in transition and 76% on spot up jumpers in the half court for the @Lakers in the @NBASummerLeague

Lol.

 

[LyleLanley]

I hope this isn't just a hot streak by Kuzma, if he can continue to hit the three like this he will be a massive steal

Edit: Oh my...

You do understand that he's playing in Summer League right?

 

[Officerrob]

You do understand that he's playing in Summer League right?

I didn't know spot up 3's don't exist in the regular season

 

[Hydrus]

You do understand that he's playing in Summer League right?

And he's draining NBA level 3's. Kuzma is a steal.

 

[FZZ]

Uh oh refs are doing it again

 

[Cornbread78]

C'mon, leave the Lakers fans alone, this is the most winning they are going to do until they have Bron, Westbrook and Paul next year..

 

[LyleLanley]

You're right, this guy's the next Ray Allen.

 

[Sandfox]

What Kuzma is doing is obviously not sustainable, but his release is crazy for a PF. Dude shoots it like Klay.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Kyle "Korver" Kuzma

 

[shwimpy]

Has Matt Thomas missed a three in summer league yet? The guy is unconscious beyond the arc.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

We should call Kuzma King Kuzma?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lakers bout to tie Boston with their 17th NBA championship. Suck it, Celtics.

 

[darkwing-buck]

raise the banner boys

Dude went 5-5 today and 6-7 last night.

 

[LyleLanley]

No Kuzma Supernova thread?

 

[Miracle]

raise the banner boys

It will be hanged in the Clippers locker room. The only title banner they will ever see in that room.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

We did it!!!

 

[RiggityRice]

Be careful LA, riots should happen any moment now..

 

[Bread]

Either Ball is overrated because Kuzma is a great shooter or Kuzma is overrated because he has Ball passing to him

 

[Sandfox]

The Lakers need to give Matt Thomas a two way contract.

 

[Darkman M]

Finals MVP and leauge MVP feels goo to be back.

 

[Officerrob]

The Lakers need to give Matt Thomas a two way contract.

Agreed

 

[Miracle]

He deserves it. He's a sniper.

WE GET CHAMPIONS T-SHIRTS BOYS!

Kuzma is good. I honestly think Kuzma had a better SL than Ball when it comes to projecting out to the regular season. He looks like a perfect modern NBA forward. There are still a lot of question marks with Lonzo as to if he'll be able to consistently find his own shot in the NBA.

 

[FZZ]

Anything is possible?????

KUZ

NO

FUCK THE CELTICS

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lmao @ "light skin connection"

That pesky sample size issue will unfortunately cost Kuzma more than it will Ball. Ball was unlucky and Kuzma was very lucky. Kuzma just had his Selby moment.

That being said, I think Kuzma's stroke will translate from college to NBA more than others due to the form (he only shot like 32 percent in college but it looks like extending out isn't a problem for him) but regression still means it's tough to quantify right now as I think it's fair to assume he's not a better shooter than Curry.

Please choose one of my options

 

[Tom Penny]

Lonzo already taught Caruso to play as good as him when he sits.

 

[Sandfox]

Kyle Kuzma was 48% from 3-point range (24/50) in seven games. He was second-team All-Summer League, which was announced before title game.

That's pretty crazy.

Naturally I don't expect him to shoot like 70% from three in the NBA, but he exhibited a very translatable skill set. I don't think he'll be a superstar by any means, but I think he steps right in and can become a legitimate starter, which considering his draft position and salary, is a steal.

For sure. I liked Kuzma at Utah so I'm pushing for him to keep it up as it helps me feel better about my own personal Big (Baller) Board. I just have more trouble projecting people out to the real games when they shoot this insanely than a Ball who shot like shit but showed a lot elsewhere.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Rashard Lewis 2.0

 

[Miracle]

Rashard Lewis 2.0

I can see that. Lewis was a baller in his prime. It's what got him a HUGE contract before his injury happened.

Which is a total steal. Kuzma and Lonzo. 😎

 

[Lionel Richie]

We're coming back for the next one LA.

 

[Forceatowulf]

We fucking won SL and our best players missed a bunch of games. like damn. It definitely helps when your forwards are unconscious behind the arc. Like holy shit, Kuzma and Thomas were red fucking hot all SL.

And Lonzo and Kuzma are both appropriately the MVP's of the league. Light-Skin Connection 4 lyfe <3

Kuzma is good. I know it's SL but that jumper is PURE and he's clearly a smart basketball player. He will be good in this league. How good? We will see.

 

[Servbot24]

We're coming back for the next one LA.

This dude sounds like he was hanging out with some babes as he wrote that, wish I was him

lets get mark madsen dancing again...

 

[Slizeezyc]

What's he referring to?

Magic had a tweet like this a bit ago that was basically a hint at PG13 to LA.

 

[juliushandle]

Forget LeBron and PG. Sign Klay and pay Bropez to stay. Light skinned bros starting lineup would be Zo, Klay, Kuz, Nance, and Bropez.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Ball
PG13
Ingram
Kuzma
Cousins

This teams gonna be littttttt

 

[Servbot24]
