Reeves connects well with Lebron and AD plays and he has also built a good playing combination with DLO.. he is good in free throws and can defend very well.. he is very good in fade aways... he is a hustlers that makes life tough for opponent, what else does a team need? i love watching him...

All his shot attempts are based on what he can get and hardly forces any shots. Next year he will be the a monster . Lakers need to do whatever it takes to resign him!

    I LOVE Austin Reaves! And I don't say that about many players. He has underestimated basketball skills (shooting, dribbling, passing,defense....but most importantly Tenacity and Basketball IQ). I love how he knows how to create contact with his body and get the AND ONE. I love how he doesn't back down from anyone. He's like Caruso BUT better offensively. He still needs to improve his strength and explosiveness but the Lakers need to sign him to a lengthy extension.

    Interestingly enough his final year of college he played against Mac McClung and yet it was Austin Reeves that has excelled I think it was his humility and his desire to be a a team player and not make it all about him that helped him to become a better player because that's definitely what I saw with him here at Oklahoma and certainly see it with him there at the Lakers... Regardless of where he ends up next I hope he gets his reward because he has earned it.

    See if the Lakers do always threes at the start of the game they will be a formidable team, hard to conquer. The only thing that is missing the lakers is a rim protector. They do not need a very tall defender. What they need is a strong build warrior, intelligent and who can truly defend the rim. All he has to master is only free throw. Because most of the time he will be fouled by the opposing team. If they can look for a rim defender like that. Then I could say, they are indespensable. They have good if not perfect three point shooters. They do not need anymore shooters. All they ultimately do is always harass the ball handler. Then they could be far away behind their opponents.
