If Kuzma is a “black hole”, then what is KCP then? Lol

Same thing, along with JC, Randle, BI, & Brook, shots are going up 90% of the time which is why Zo's scoring again isn't that much of a concern for me. Get the dudes who goota thirst to score in the best positions to do so.

Don’t get the context of this gif tbh

Not really....Kuzma does actually play within the offense. I don’t see him force much shots compared to JC and KCP. KCP is the worst offender of them all. Bro has no vision at all. I hate it when he jacks up a contested three in transition.

He can’t shoot and doesn’t want to. Never said he couldn’t play. I did underestimate his IQ and I applaud what the coaching staff does with him.

I’ll hold the L

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

His scoring numbers shouldn't be a concern to you but from the eye test you gotta be a little concerned. If he didn't have black holes on the team and it forced Ball to have more scoring responsibility I'm not so sure his numbers would improve and I'm not so sure things wouldn't be more dire for him. I'm waiting for the progression this summer because he needs to take a sledgehammer to his whole jump shot and get some Ball Hog gloves to work on his handle

This was the danger with LA's plan. Julius, Jordan, KCP, Brook, they're all playing offense like it's a showcase because they all are assuming they'll be with other teams next season that's a big reason why none of them pass

Yup 100% agree.

I think I underestimated his handle more than anything.

Wonder what happens when teams start getting back in transition and taking away his half court cuts to the rim.

I definitely take my L to this point tho.

JC and Randle has always played iso ball though lol
Sometimes they play within the offense though

Brook is a center...he’s never been known to be a passer so that was expected

KCP....well, he’s Vander Blue 2.0

KCP definitely shooting for the check next year that he didn’t get this offseason

Simmons at point guard flourishing. awwsome is shedding a tear somewhere. I'm with you brodie

He made so many boneheaded plays last night that I literally yelled “what the hell was that” when he took that corner three in transition instead of passing to JC

Brah got basura vision

 

[pmatic]

at all the calamity in this thread today.

Before I get put on the Summer Jam screen, yes I did compare Kuzma to JaMychal Green and Marvin Williams. But I usually tend to lean towards lower ceilings unless I am really sold on a prospect.

He’s trying to show he’s got the 3 to go with the D (pause)

I missed yesterday’s game but the other games I’ve seen when the ball swings around his way especially in a corner, he’s throwing it up

My thing with KCP was that, he was the exact same player last season, which is why I didn't really get the enthusiasm giving him all that bread for this season. He was a chucker, a bad one at that and an overrated defender to me.

I keep saying this because he's the butt of jokes, but for reference there's no way Laker fans would have been excited to get Austin Rivers if he was a FA, and he was better than KCP last year.

[Peep Game]

Man philly y’all got some real ones in Simmons and Embiid. Barring injuries y’all in some good hands.

If fultz becomes a harden type player off the bench too. My god RIP to the league after the warriors fade

Need to get Draymond traded

Or Larry Bird is trying to break Magic's wrist since Magic was giving him buckets
