In a trade, the Los Angeles Lakers acquired Russell Westbrook from the Washington Wizards while losing Kyle Kuzma. However, it didn’t work so well for the Lakers as compared to both players’ performance, Kuzma has stepped over his game, causing the Lakers to regret the trade. As for comparing him to Westbrook, it hasn’t worked out as planned for the Lakers since Westbrook’s performance is deteriorating with each game.

In another proof of his improvement, Kyle made a historic 27-point and 22-rebound double-double in the midst of a career-high scoring run. Kendrick Perkins talked about his crazy fashion sense and also emphasized his great play on the court on Twitter, stating:

“Kuzma may dress crazy and weird as hell… but when it comes down to what’s happening between those lines I can’t front his basketball game is on another level! I’m talking some Most Improved Player-type basketball. Carry on…”
