Randle's so much better off the bench. This is what I've wanted for years and it's working. Nance has doesn't have an ego, so if Randle is rolling and Luke wants to use him down the stretch, it isn't a problem.

Josh Hart = winner.

I really think Kuzma should be starting over Ingram. He's a much better finisher and iso player than Ingram. Ball needs another finisher in the starting lineup.
Thing is Randle looking like our best defensive player...he eliminates pnr mismatches...at sometime we have to see with that looks like with the first unit cause you don’t wanna waste that on bench nikkas

I mean just off their impact lately I wish we'd go Randle, Kuzma, Ingram, Zo, KCP. we lack size but get energy and scoring. They're guaranteed to cause problems on defense n work well running n gunning. Alternate whoever is hot between Clarkson and kcp but I prefer kcp defense

He can close games. :yeshrug:

His biggest positives are his strength and quickness. That gets taken away as a starter. When he goes against second units, it's easier for him to overwhelm opponents and get his confidence up.

If it ain't broke, don't break it.

It's been broken since the last champagne sip of the 2010 Finals. :manny::mjcry:

I'm fighting the urge to hop on this kuzma bandwagon. Last like 4 years ive been quick to Stan out second pick gems. Used to love Clarkson. I stoll like nance a whole lot. Thought Zu was gonna be the next gasol. Now Kuz is looking like an actual problem. But I'm jaded

Nance is still really good. Kuzma is legit. He's had like maybe one bad game from Summer League to now?

Nance is legit, he excels at his role and is the prototype the lakers need. And Kuz has legit skills, not just “potential” based on some physical attributes or small flashes. All them years of school he really polished his game
