Right now Kuz is in a similar role to the one AG had in Orlando where he’s being asked to do too much offensively.
Gordan is more athletic and a slightly better defender whereas Kuzma is better as a shot creator, but I’d say overall they have a similar “jack of all trades master of none” skillset.
Jfc, the replies here are fucking insane. Kuzma was a great roleplayer for the lakers and contributed in many ways.
I don’t really get calling kuzma a role player. What’s his role? There’s a difference between being a role player and just being second tier.
Was Danny Green only a role player once he got worse at defense?
Fair enough. At that point in Kuzmas career he accepted being relegated to a role player. Can’t see that happening again even if it’s where he’s best suited.
