Kyle Kuzma keeps quiet on basketball scandal, but Lonzo Ball says it's time to pay college players

Often vocal about his belief that college basketball players should be paid, Kyle Kuzma took a step back on Friday and let Lakers teammate Lonzo Ball make the point for him.

"I don't think it is the right time to really say too much about that with all (the stuff) going on," Kuzma said.

Kuzma was among the players identified as having been paid by an agent while in college in documents first obtained by Yahoo Sports. The documents are part of an FBI investigation into bribery and corruption in college basketball that has already led to the arrests of four assistant coaches, including Tony Bland, formerly of USC.
