Isaiah Thomas Calls Kyle Kuzma 'Another Special Young Talent In This League'
矮汤称Kuzma "联盟中年轻的天赋"
Midway through the 2017-18 NBA season, Isaiah Thomas teamed up with Julius
Randle, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma following a trade-deadline
move between the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers.
2017-18球季中，矮汤跟Randle, Ingram, Ball跟库子马在交易截止日前相会
Although Thomas only appeared in 17 games before requiring season-ending hip
surgery, he established himself as a mentor to the team’s young core. While
there were scenarios of Thomas re-signing depending on how free agency played
out, the Lakers ultimately signed Rajon Rondo to a one-year, $9 million
contract.
In turn, Thomas eventually signed a one-year, veteran’s minimum deal with
the Denver Nuggets.
虽然矮汤在球季结束前的只打了17场比赛，他依然在这群年轻的核心中起到了导师的作用
，虽然在最后自由球员市场有IT回归的风声
湖人最终选择以一年的合约签下了Rondo一年，因此矮汤与金块签下一年的老将底薪
Despite their short time together, a mutual respect was developed between
Thomas and Kuzma. The latest sign of that came from Thomas during his
appearance on "Tiki and Tierney" in which he praised Kuzma:
"Kyle Kuzma is a very underrated guy. He uses the doubt that everybody has
for his game as motivation. He’s somebody who works very hard and is going
to be another special young talent in this league."
虽然相处时间很短，矮汤与Kuzma依然赢得彼此的尊重，这可以从最近矮汤上电台节目上
对于Kuzma的描述看得出来
"Kuzma是一个严重被低估的球员，而他也把大家对他的质疑转化成动力，他是那种非常刻
苦训练的人，我相信他会成为联盟中未来的年轻天赋"
As both players prepare for the 2018-19 season, Kuzma recently participated
at Thomas’ fifth annual Zeke-End Basketball Tournament. With the 23-year-old
displaying his improved ball-handling skills, he will look to take another
step in his development.
After Kuzma averaged 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds in 31.2 minutes per game
during his rookie season, he is projected to be the team’s sixth man.
However, Lakers head coach Luke Walton revealed there will be an open
competition during training camp for the four starting spots alongside LeBron
James.
两人目前都在准备18-19球季，Kuzma最近也参加矮汤举办的Zeke-End 巡回赛，23岁的
Kuzma的运球技巧明显的进步了，他正在让自己成为更好的球员
在新人赛季，Kuzma平均在31.2分钟拿下了16.1分6.3篮板，他目前被规划为球队的第六人
然而，Luke也表示，除了James已外，在训练营中大家将自由的角逐先发的位置
