Earlier in the offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers received positive news with the announcement of Kyle Kuzma being invited to the Team USA Training Camp.
The camp will take place Aug. 5-8 with Kuzma hoping to make the 12-man roster that will take part in the FIBA World Cup which takes place in China Aug. 31 – Sep. 15.
The selection serves as validation for the work Kuzma has put in throughout his young career to improve his game. As the No. 27 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, not much was expected of Kuzma when he was selected, but he turned heads immediately in the Las Vegas Summer League and hasn’t stopped doing so since.
