The Los Angeles Lakers entered this season as the team to beat not only in the Western Conference but in the whole NBA. Now, they added even more firepower after quite the interesting offseason.
But, given that they were still struggling to establish an interior presence ā especially with Anthony Davis on the shelf for most of the season ā they completed arguably their most important signing of the year: Andre Drummond.
Drummond is going to give them a much-needed boost ahead of the playoffs with his ability to dominate both sides of the glass and his newfound defensive skills. However, itāll take some time before he gets used to his new system.
Kyle Kuzma Throws Shade At The Detroit Pistons And Cleveland Cavaliers
Drummond has had some ups-and-downs over his first couple of games with the team, which is normal considering heās just learning things on the go. Thatās why Kyle Kuzma didnāt waste the chance to diss his former coaches, saying this is the first time that heās actually being coached:
āI mean, itās just a process, man. Itās not going to happen overnight. Rome wasnāt built overnight. I think that for him, itās a big adjustment. When you think about it, heās kind of really never really been coached in his career. Playing in Detroit, in Cleveland, and then coming here into a championship organization, itās tough,ā Kuzma said.
Thatās just classic Kuzma and exactly why some people just canāt take him seriously. Heās constantly taking uncalled shots at everybody else and talking as if he were the reason why the Lakers are the reigning champions.
Then again, heās got a bit of a point this time. Itāll take Drummond a couple of weeks to adapt and fulfill the role the Lakers want out of him, especially when LeBron James and Anthony Davis come back.
