Gary Trent Jr. was burying 3 pointers over THT like he wasn't even there.

Kuzma plays better when he starts. He’s averaged 20ppg when starting the last two seasons. Starting obviously does something for his confidence. Vogel needs to start Kuz and have LeBron come off the bench. #LeSixthManOfTheYear.

The hype on Talen Horton Tucker was all smoke and mirrors. Horrible defender and takes bad shots. He's not a rotation player on a title team, needs to go back to the g league and develop himself.

Talen Horton Tucker
Kyle Kuzma
Josh Hart
Larry Nance
Ivica Zubac
Alex Caruso
Jordan Clarkson

every late pick who can score 10+ points is a future star

Yeah that random scrub game.

Lakers are still figuring out their offense. Will take time.

I do agree that Kuzma probably needs to start. Not because of the troll reason above, but it would be better for the team if he was a starter and Dennis Schroder came off the bench. This should be the Lakers starting 5:

PG - LeBron
SG - KCP/Caruso
SF - Kuzma
PF - AD
C - Gasol

Giving Schroder (a guy who needs to have and dribble the ball in order to score) all those minutes at the start of the game when they already have two guys who can create their own shots in LeBron and AD hurts the Lakers as the game drags on. Schroder and Harrell's playing time should be adjusted so that they play as much as possible when LeBron and AD aren't in the game. It's a shame that Vogel gave in to Schroder's demand to start when he would be more helpful off the bench. If asked, he would deny that is the reason he's starting, but we all know it is.
