From relatively unknown to the steal of the 2017 NBA Draft, Kyle Kuzma is prepared to take the next step in his development for the 2018-19 NBA season.
Along with averaging 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds en route to 2018 NBA All-Rookie First Team honors, the 23-year-old played different roles for head coach Luke Walton that will ultimately help his development moving forward.
With Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka wanting to build a team full of tough playmakers, it is one of the things Kuzma worked on during the offseason.
