The third-year forward for the Los Angeles Lakers Kyle Kuzma shared his thoughts on Team USA head coach Gregg Popovich and the rest of the coaching staff:

Per Lakers Nation: “He’s my favorite coach of all time. Growing up, I’m a hoops junkie, watching a lot of the Spurs teams and he’s won. He’s won at every level he’s been at. So, to be here and learn, to be around him, it’s really great.

He’s been around the game for years and years and years, so I want to be a sponge. Not just Pop, we have Jay Wright here, Steve Kerr, so many great coaches. To learn from everyone is going to help me out tremendously,” Kuzma said.
