Los Angeles Lakers: 3 Players to watch against Cleveland Cavaliers

Kyle Kuzma

While all eyes have been on Lonzo Ball for the Lakers, another one of their first round picks has been shining. After being selected with the 27^th overall pick, Kyle Kuzma has impressed in Summer League so far.

In their most recent game against the 76ers, Kuzma was able to record a double-double. He totaled 13 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and one steal in the very good all-around game. One of the things that Kuzma must continue to do is stay aggressive with his shot. On a few occasions against the 76ers, Kuzma passed up good looks.

Against the Celtics, Kuzma had a monster game for the Lakers. He was able to total 31 points on 12-for-26 shooting, and also he shot five-for-10 from beyond the arc. Since Kuzma has been playing big minutes with Ball, he has to be prepared to shoot the ball when Ball sets him up. Considering that he scored 30+ points in a game, we should not see Kuzma hesitate to shoot the ball.

Kuzma has been logging big minutes for the Lakers in Summer League so far. Since he has played well in all three games he was active for, expect to see another solid performance against the Cavaliers.
