Sports analyst Skip Bayless was impressed with Kyle Kuzma during the games between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Indiana Pacers.
The 25-year-old forward scored 15 out of his 24 points in the fourth quarter, helping his team earn a narrow win. Bayless maintained his position that he tweeted on the game night, that Kuzma is a natural closer.
“I have believed from the start he had a closer’s mentality,” Bayless said on UNDISPUTED. “He is a fearless shooter. Nothing seems to bother him. No shot is too big for him. He’ll take it, I’m not gonna say he’s gonna make every one, but he shoots every one like he thinks he’s made.”
“Kyle Kuzma didn’t just show up, he showed completely out. He scored 15 in the fourth quarter and added 4 more rebounds just in the fourth quarter alone.”
This season, Kuzma is averaging 11.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.1 in 26 minutes per game for the reigning NBA champions. He started 11 out of 37 games for the Lakers.
