According to a report in Hollywood Life, Kuzma opened up about his feelings about being on the team in an interview with The Athletic. He said:

“It really doesn’t matter to me. I know I’m going to be on the court, I know I’m going to play, I know I’m going to impact this team, and the vibes are high. It’s really just about being excited being here. So, we’ll get to that (starter vs. bench player conversation) eventually.”

“When I heard the news, I was super ecstatic to be here.” Kyle concluded, “I wanted to be here just because I knew this was a place where to potentially compete for a championship and play just high-level winning basketball again. And that was the most important thing.”
