Nothing about the journey Kyle Kuzma has taken to the Los Angeles Lakers is normal. Players taken with one of the final selections in the first round of the NBA Draft just don’t come in and score as smoothly as Kuzma did, or make success look so effortless.
Kuzma did all that and more as he wowed to the tune of 16.1 points per game on 45 percent shooting and an effective field goal percentage of 52.7 percent, averages that earned him a spot on the 2018 NBA All-Rookie first team.
