It’s that time of the year, when every member of the Lakers is in the best shape of his life, they’ve all added numerous skills to their game, and they’re ready to prove the doubters wrong and have the best seasons of their careers.
Take Kyle Kuzma, for example. He’s been doing three-a-day workouts (seriously, who does that?), in addition to watching film on his own and with Rajon Rondo, and texting head coach Luke Walton clips of where he struggled on defense last season. Kuzma has been in the weight room, so of course he is stronger than ever; he is preparing to expand his role to not only play on the wing, but also moonlight as a backup center; and he isn’t content with his All-Rookie honors — this sophomore is shooting for MVP someday.
