Kyle Kuzma's perfect reaction to massive game

Lonzo Ball may be getting all the attention in Los Angeles, but fellow rookie Kyle Kuzma is not-so-quietly becoming the Lakers' leading man. The 27th overall pick in the draft dropped a career-high 38 points on the Rockets on the road Wednesday night, as Los Angeles snapped Houston's 14-game winning streak.

Kuzma was lights out from beyond the arc, shooting 7-for-10 from three. For the season, Kuzma is averaging 17.4 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, but he wasn't surprised at all by his breakout game. In a hilarious postgame exchange, Kuzma showed he might just be the most confident guy on the floor.

"Did you expect this from yourself as a rookie, this fast? Did you expect to be able to have games like this?"

Kuzma: "Yeah."

"No problem?"

Kuzma: "Yeah, no problem. Yeah."
