Kyle Kuzma tore through the rookie wall like a cannonball through tissue paper during his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, going from almost dropping into the second-round to NBA All-Rookie first team and shattering preseason expectations along the way.
Kuzma’s play also outpaced virtual predictions for his value to the Lakers, as entering his rookie year he was only rated as a 72 overall by NBA 2K, one of the lowest ratings in the entire game.
After his stellar first year, Kuzma told NBA 2K’s Ronnie Singh that he was expecting a bump when NBA 2K19 releases.
