The Los Angeles Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma has performed way better than what was expected from him as a rookie by his team. With a height of 6'.9" and a wingspan of around 7 feet, his physical strength, quickness, and skills fit best for the franchise's requirement for a Power Forward. He is averaging 16.7 points and his 7 feet wingspan is adding 6.1 rebounds per game in his stats sheet and for the team as well.

He is not the best finisher at the rim right now as compared to the other elite athletes of his size. He has some issues on both ends of the floor which are being tested in every game, he has to improve a lot.

Still, Kyle has a lot of potentials and can make a space for himself in this league. The Lakers' roster is young right now with all the players having a great desire to improve and win games. Kyle's shooting and passing abilities enable him to play a fair amount of offense for the Lakers. He is developing himself every single day, and there is no doubt he can be one of the best Power Forward in the league.
