#4 Kuzma and Ingram are going to feast

With nearly every Laker possessing the ability to create their own shot, Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram, who were the franchise's volume scorers when available last season, can expect to get an assortment of the choicest passes in the league from the likes of LeBron, Rondo and Lonzo.

Ingram was an enthusiastic cutter today, and he connected with LeBron on 2 occasions in spectacular fashion. Kuzma is more of a spot-up shooter than a cutter, but he got his own fair share of shots up today in those scenarios.

The availability of other secondary scorers on the squad is likely to supercharge the scoring games for both of these young studs. Concerns over whether they will get enough minutes to develop to their full potential are understandable and contain substance, but they are unlikely to stop the Lakers from being an offensive juggernaut.
