The Los Angeles Lakers have an exciting new player to take minutes at power forward in Kyle Kuzma, but somehow his ascendance has led to a dampening in enthusiasm for the other two young players the team has at the position.

Former Lakers forward A.C. Green didn’t go quite that far during a Lakers Nation exclusive interview, but he did mention that he really likes both Nance and Randle’s games:
“They both are hard workers, they both try and play with a second and third effort.
