Kuzma drops 41pts on the pistons

[CelticsElite]

Anyone see this? What surprised me was he was 5-10 from 3. He attempted 10 3pters and made half

Ball 5pts and Ingram 10 pts.

Mike Beasley with 19pts lol

[rondofan1255]

I caught the fourth quarter
Good for him

For me Ball & Ingram are more Shaun Livingston & Rip Hamilton than Kidd & Durant, this is why only way Anthony Davis becomes a Laker over a Celtic is if he says to Ainge "don't trade for me, I only want to play for the Lakers".

One permutation that hasn't been talked about is if the Pelicans stink for the rest of the season and by sheer luck they get a top 3 draft pick they could easily flip it for a disgruntled star and a rebuilding team such as Beal & Washington, this would give New Orleans another season with Davis at least.

Kyle Kuzma is their second best player on that team.

[IDreamCeltics]

Not bad for the 27th pick in his draft...

[jambr380]

Nice game, but a lot of good players have breakout games (and Kuzma is a good player).

As it pertains to the Celtics - I don't think it really moves the needle. As an older, later pick, Kuzma probably still holds about the same value as Ingram/Ball and maybe Brown. Tatum still blows all of those players out of the water with his age, pedigree, and production on a winning team.

I see Kuzma as closer in value to younger Marcus Morris than Jayson Tatum.

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Good night from a good player.

It helps to get you going when you score 6 points early off of wide open layups because the Pistons aren't playing defense.

The guy can score at a high level. No doubt about that.

[footey]

He is much better than I thought. Figured his first year numbers were fools gold.

Good example like Brognan taking closer look at 4 year college guys.

[Donoghus]

He'll be good trade bait for the Lakers at some point.

How does Tatum blow any of those players out of the water let alone Kuzma?  What specifically has he done to separate himself from that pack?

Kuzma is averaging more points and assists and has a higher eFG% than Tatum...

I think the thought is that Kuzma is the one guy out of he, Ball, and Ingram that best fits  with Lebron.  I think the other guys are the trade bait.

Tatum (together with Brown)led a team to eastern finals.

They are both very good, but impossible to compare 2 different teams and rolls.

interesting point.  would NO have the cap room to take in a fair amount of salary (assumption that they'd try for a very good vet that does not have a cheap contract) that would not require them to send out some salary?  if they need to send out salary, that makes that pick much less valuable in terms of who they could obtain

They have a lot of next cap room next year. They will have approximately $24,785,451 cap room available next year, And probably more, depending on what Randle does with his $9 million player option, which he will most likely refuse. They can also clear $1.7 million off the books by denying Okafor's team option.

i saw that game ,  typical Lakers at home,  they jumped all,over the pistons .   

Pistons played like dog poo .  Pathetic.
I turned it off , i knew the pistons were cooked before they took the court.  Lakers kids live for the home court crowd .

They ahave tomhave Bron , who can score 40 on anybodies home court to beat good teams away.
