Los Angeles Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma has come out of nowhere this season. He has taken the league by storm despite being selected No. 27 overall in the 2017 NBA Draft.
Kuzma has been excellent for the Lakers. Despite hitting a bit of a wall in recent games, he is still second on the team with 15.7 points per game. For a majority of the season, Kuzma has been the team’s leading scorer. He is also averaging 5.9 rebounds and 1.8 rebounds.
Coming out of Utah, NBA pundits weren’t very high on Kuzma.
