Lakers News: Kyle Kuzma Calls Jared Dudley Best Teammate ‘By Far’

The Los Angeles Lakers finally parted ways with the last of their young core after including Kyle Kuzma in the trade package for Russell Westbrook.

Kuzma was the longest-tenured player on the team prior to his departure. He played an integral role in helping to turn the franchise around en route to securing a title during an unprecedented 2019-2020 campaign.

The former 27th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft played with his fair share of high-profile teammates as a result of joining the Purple and Gold to start his career. So it may come as a bit of a surprise to see there was one that was head and shoulders above them all.
