It isn’t uncommon for a fan favorite player from the Lakers to get an extreme amount of hype. Due to the size of the market, media coverage, and the intensity of their fans, players that put together a few highlights in LA tend to get prematurely pushed as a great player. However, with Austin Reaves I think Lakers fans may actually be on to something. I saw him play a few times for the Lakers this most recent season, and he impressed me. What really has drawn my interest though is his performance for the US FIBA National Team. The reason I have been so intrigued by what I have seen is, anyone can have a little bit of success if they end up in the right system for them, and maybe that was Reaves and the Lakers. But when you see that same guy still standing out when playing with multiple all star level guys, that’s when you start to think, oh, maybe it isn’t JUST the system. Maybe this guy really is legit. So with that, I decided now is as good of a time as ever to evaluate Austin Reaves’ game. We are gonna look into what he provides on the court, and what I think he can truly be in the long term sense.
