One of the positives on getting out of that Mozgov’s contract is the late first round steal in Kuzma. Kyle Kuzma the NBA career has really been somewhat of a story book it really just seems like it's fresh out of a movie you know the Lakers selected him with their 27th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft and when they picked him you know a lot of people were upset a lot of fans felt that they should have gone with another player like Jordan Bell for instance and no one really knew who he was no one expected him to be this great player really be a key to the Lakers future but here we are Kyle Kuzma has really turned heads the second he entered the league.

Since he played for the Lakers in that 2017 Summer League when he hoped that summer league team go and win the summer league championship and it only continued you know his rookie season he really excelled he set a Lakers record in most threes made by a rookie he actually shot 37% from three his rookie season he averaged 16 points and six rebounds it was pretty clear that not only was he a star on the court but he was also a star off the court and he instantly became a fan favorite.

Now this past season he had just as an impressive season he averaged 18 points per game five rebounds and not only that but he also played during NBA all-star weekend in the end Rising Stars game with all the other top young players and he was MVP of that game so there is really no denying that Kyle Kuzma has a bright future but this season this upcoming year could really be that make-or-break year from him this could be this season that really propels his career and pulls him into full-blown stardom or of course it could really deter his career and he could always just kind of be known as a Jordan Clarkson type player a guy who got off to this great start had a lot of potential but never really fully achieved that potential.

Obviously us Laker fans and that's Kyle who's my fans like myself included do not want that to happen we want Kuz to be that third star for the Lakers so this offseason he has had to put in a ton of work which obviously if you know coos you know he does he killed it during the offseason and this offseason was no different he was been working out with lethal shooter to get his three-point shot back up like I've mentioned his rookie season he shot 37% from three but this past year we actually saw that dipped down to 30%.



So he's been working with lethal shooter in order to get that up lethal shooters only had amazing things to say besides his offensive game that he's been working on he's also been working on his defense of course he instilled in the help of Metta World Peace to help him defensively he's also had some really highly publicized you know workouts with Carmelo Anthony so he's been lifting he's been in the gym.


It seems like almost every single time you look uncock who's my social media he's working out in some way shape or form so who's has really been putting in the work this offseason and of course you know like I said there are a lot of expectations for him this year he knows this is such an important season for him so he's been putting in the work he's been really working on his game because a lot of things have to happen if he is going to be that Lakers third star.
