Lakers News: Kyle Kuzma Thinks LA Could Have ‘Death Lineup’ Like Warriors

Kelvin Kuo/Associated Press

Nobody can accuse Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma of lacking confidence in his team’s on-court potential.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Kuzma discussed how he thinks Lakers head coach Luke Walton can create a five-man lineup similar to what the Golden State Warriors use when they go small with their best players, per the Los Angeles Times‘ Tania Ganguli:

“I think our small ball unit can be really good. I think we can have a death lineup whether that’s [Rajon] Rondo and Lonzo [Ball] on the floor at the same time and me and [Brandon Ingram] and [Le]Bron [James] or substituting guys. I think as we get better defensively and get more continuity, that small ball lineup is going to be huge for us, especially in the playoffs, when everybody’s going to be going small.”
