Kyle Kuzma had a tough defensive assignment in Devin Booker on Wednesday, but thought he did a strong job.

Watch how he shades Booker toward the help while staying vertical (hands up) the entire time. It's only until Booker pushes off with his forearm that he creates separation. pic.twitter.com/xLwK2drEyq
Kuzma did a pretty good job defending an elite Booker Wed night

Kuzma has the height and length to be an excellent wing defender. Like to see him start again at the 2 tonight. With Schroder hurting, might be perfect time to see a THT and KK backcourt. I’ve always like the idea of playing Kuz at the 2. Playing the 2 is the only way for him to start with LeBron at the 3 and AD at the 4.
One of my ‘why not’ starting lineups for the Lakers would be:
PG: THT
SG: Kuzma
SF: LeBron
PF: AD
CE: Gasol
Bench would be dynamite too:
PG: Schroder
SG: KCP
SF: Matthews
PF: Morris
CE: Harrell
Wait! I forgot about Caruso.
Now you can see what a problem THT is going to cause.
LOL. Lakers are TOO deep!
Well, Book took Kuz to school last night and I think that really hurt Kyle’s game at the other end of the court.
