The Los Angeles Lakers have got off to a 6-8 start this season, showing spurts of brilliance on the court that head coach Luke Walton has tried to bottle up. While the team has been led by Brook Lopez and Brandon Ingram, rookies Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma have also answered the bell.
Kuzma in particular has surpassed all expectations. He has reached double-digit points in 12 of 14 games this season. Since being inserted into the starting lineup following the injury to Larry Nance Jr., the rookie has excelled even further, to the point that he may remain a starter when Nance returns.
