A) He’s better than Hayward right now, maybe for the rest of the season, and possibly for their careers going forward.
B) He’s more like a second banana as the Celtics are 6–1 without Horford, who has an On/Off rating of -10.7. That would put him in Tier VI — the Non-Second Bananas.
C) In December, (you know I had to go there), Kyle Kuzma is currently the Lakers’ #2 guy, averaging 22.9 pts. 6.6 reb. 3.5 ast, which is 4.9 points, and 2.2 assists more than Tatum, with rebounding being equal. I can hardly wait to see what happens when these two guys have to guard each other again. Last January, Kuzma had 28 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 0 turnovers, destroying Tatum (4 points, 5 rebounds, 0 assists, 3 turnovers). Kuzma outdueled Kyrie Irving, scoring 17 points in the 4th quarter to win the game.
