About
Kyle Kuzma – competent ball-handler capable of supplying efficient scoring and outside shooting on the second unit, and a scorer.
He developed a passion for basketball after his parents installed a toy basketball rim for him when he was only two.
Kyle Kuzma came into the NBA via the 2017 draft, where Brooklyn Nets selected him as a first-round pick. Kuzma, however, moved to Los Angeles Lakers in a draft-day trade.
In the 2017 NBA Summer League, he played in eight games for the Lakers, starting in six, and was the lead point scorer in seven matches. After playing 20 games, he became the first ever NBA rookie to compile at least 330 points, 120 rebounds, and 30 made three-pointers.
In August 2018, Kuzma supplied 300 backpacks and school supplies at a free basketball camp. In 2019, Kuzma contributed towards building a new basketball court in Berston.
