Being drafted with the no. 27 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, Kyle Kuzma flew under the radar of most teams, but the Michigan native made an impression in workouts and in person with Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Rob Pelinka, the front office duo that decided to adorn the 22-year-old with an LA Lakers' jersey. Kuzma wears the no. 0, which is probably about how much most people in LA knew about the former University of Utah Ute before he stormed through the NBA Summer League en route to the Summer League Final MVP. Even Lonzo Ball, who played against Kuzma in college, didn't seem to remember anything special about the athletic 6-foot, 9-inch forward in college. With Ball sitting out three of the five preseason games with a mildly sprained ankle, the focus has been back on the court, and on the court, Kuzma is king. In his first five preseason games, Kuzma has scored at least 15 points in each contest and leads the Lakers in scoring at 19.2 points per game on 56.2 percent shooting from the field. For the past couple years, Julius Randle and Larry Nance Jr. have split minutes at power forward, but with the emergence of Kuzma, that position grows immensely more complicated for Lakers coach Luke Walton.
