I’m not ready to call Kyle Kuzma the second best player on the Los Angeles Lakers yet. In my mind that is still left to be determined. But I will go on record to say that Kyle Kuzma is the straw that stirs the proverbial Lakers drink.
The last three games prove all three levels of importance of having Kyle Kuzma on the floor no matter if LeBron James is healthy or not.
The first level was shown on Sunday, with Kuzma out of thew lineup with a back contusion, the Lakers were blown out by 22 points by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
