Streaky shooter, but he can play defense. He'll probably get much better looks with this team than he did in LA.
Perfect player to take a one year flyer on. He completes the starting lineup.

Won't be impressed until PG gets here tbh
. We gotta sign some big-time FA next year. Right now we are still a high lottery bound team. Might even give Boston another top 5 pick

Defense just jumped up pretty wellMagic got KCP.
Where's everyone hating on the Russell trade now? Dude just filled out the starting lineup beautifully.
With Hart on the bench our guard defense is pretty decent now.

Solid replacement for D'Lo although it's only a year, we gotta see how good Zo can make him

Solid replacement but this doesn't condemn the Russell trade if Russell becomes an all star, cause it's a 1 year deal for 18mMagic got KCP.

These savages cut Nwaba a week after smiling in his face and guaranteeing his salary! 
If you aren't Ingram or Lonzo you better not get comfortable. Magic and Pelinka are making moves.

So... Kuzma looks like he deserves some burn and he fits pretty perfectly in our system.
But we have a gang of PFs:
Randle, Nance, Deng, Kuzma
I wonder if he can play SF. He guards well enough on the perimeter in SL. He's like a fusion of Nance and Randle in many ways. Rebounds, can handle, can pass, can shoot, won defensive awards in college...

They gotta move Randle, man. These other guys are so much more versatile and better defensively.
Zo looks good when everyone buys in. These guys in the SL are fighting for a job so they're doing whatever they're being asked to. I honestly fear Randle and Clarkson not buying in.
How many times have we seen Julius grab the board and waive DLO off and bring the ball up court?
I don't really fear Clarkson as much cause he's where he belongs(on the bench).
Brehs looking at our roster, Magic and Pelinka really did that.

I think that was by design and was encouraged to do that. Randle's a pretty good passer and can lead a break like LO used to.

I pretty much agree but I'm willing to give Randle about 20 games to see his progress before it's time to bring out the pitchforks.

To be fair it's probably because D'Lo rarely pushed the ball and Luke wanted to emphasize playing faster.
I think he can still grab and go and find a streaking Ball, KCP, or Ingram on the wings
