Kyle Kuzma Believes He Improved This Season: “I Think This Year I Made Incredible Strides Of Becoming A Winning Player…”

Kyle Kuzma is a player who used to be touted as a solid scorer during his early seasons. However, with LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the roster, he has taken less of an offensive role. It seems as though that worked out for him and the team during the 2019-20 season, as they won the NBA title.

There has been a lot of scrutiny towards Kyle Kuzma after the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated in the first round by the Phoenix Suns. However, the forward believes that he has improved this season, and pointed to his improved ability to play defense and making the right play.

"I think this year I made incredible strides of becoming a winning player, making the right play, being a real valuable asset on a defensive end."

While Kuzma’s scoring may have dipped from his career-high, he has been an okay fit next to Anthony Davis and LeBron James. While Kuzma wasn’t great on the offensive end during the playoffs, he did have good defensive moments. Kyle Kuzma is still 25, and could potentially improve further with a good offseason.

There is no doubt that many fans were left disappointed by the Los Angeles Lakers and their first-round exit. Injuries are a part of sports, but if the Los Angeles Lakers come back healthy, then they will be a force to be reckoned with.
