As a sports data analyst with a decade at ESPN, I’ve seen countless offseason narratives—but Kuzma’s early LA training setup this year is different. His numbers don’t lie: 5.8 PPG, 2.2 RPG, 34% shooting efficiency. This isn’t hype—it’s hardware-level preparation. Behind the scenes, his team is optimizing for the next playoff with surgical precision. Skeptics call it a stretch; I call it strategy.
