Los Angeles Lakers: 4 lessons from Easter Sunday Clippers beatdown

Kyle Kuzma followed his best game of the season with one of his worst! 

The Kyle Kuzma debates continue. Half of Lakers Nation believes he’s going to be a major cog in the championship aspirations of this franchise.

The other half believes that he’s an inconsistent player that has hit his ceiling and should be used as a trade asset for better players. The website has covered the situation time and time again.

•  Lakers: The effort to understand the toxicity surrounding Kyle Kuzma

Now the staff will sit back and just watch the tennis match of criticisms. It’s not like Kuz is making it easy for anyone’s argument at this point. After showing that he can be a Hall of Famer against any NBA team coached by Luke Walton scoring 30 points Friday night, he follows it up with a complete clunker two days later.

It’s not like Kuzma is not trying. No player that dogs it (Oh we have an example coming real soon!) gives up on plays like this.

Then he can turn around and airball a free throw so badly that he’s checking his form on the way to the bench during a timeout.

The identity crisis of Kyle Kuzma continued with a stat line of 6 points (2-10 shooting, 0-4 from 3 point land!), 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

It is getting mentioned on numerous broadcasts that Kyle Kuzma has struggled to find his role at times with the Lakers. Okay, that narrative may hold water when AD and LeBron are in the lineup, but NOW??!!!!

This franchise needs Kuz to score the basketball by aggressively looking for his shot. Ten shots is not aggressive even when the superstars are playing! Without them that number is ridiculous. When this team gets on a plane for Florida, Kuzma had better packing his shooting arm because the team struggles to score obviously when he hit single digits in the scoring column.

Oh you thought Kyle Kuzma was not aggressive? Read on to see how Alex Caruso and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope did. They were worse!
