Kyle KuzmaPF, Los Angeles LakersKyle Kuzma delivered 16 points and four 3-pointers in Thursday's win over the Clippers.
Initially probable because of a right ankle sprain, the Lakers never updated Kuzma's status pre-game but clearly he's alright. Kuzma's 3-point shooting is going to be a huge storyline for the Lakers. He showed out in the scrimmage portion of the schedule but we're still hesitant to buy significant improvement after he shot .297 from deep before the season was suspended. Tonight's 4-for-7 mark is a good sign, however, and we'll see if he can keep it up. Kuzma added seven rebounds and a block in his 32 minutes and should be viewed as late-round option in resumption leagues. Be aware that it's a steep drop-off if the threes aren't going in.
