Kyle Kuzma cracks Lakers’ top-five all-time rookie scoring list

Kyle Kuzma continues to build on his impressive rookie year resume after breaking into an elite club on Monday. With 1,126 total points so far this season, Kuzma is now in the Lakers’ top-five all-time rookie scoring list, per Lakers media relations. Magic Johnson was the last to do this in 1980.

Upon hearing the news, Kuzma couldn’t help but take a moment to flex on Twitter and call out his doubters.

Selected with the No. 27 pick in 2017, Kuzma has shattered even the loftiest of expectations for him leading up to the draft.
