Austin Reaves has been in the league for two years and has managed to become the third-best player on the squad, trailing only LeBron James and Anthony Davis. He is the starting point guard and has just received a four-year, $56 million contract deal.
Not only has Reaves excelled as a Laker, but he is now a member of Team USA and will compete in the FIBA World Cup. Despite his critic’s displeasure, the USA has been playing several practice games against other national teams, and Reaves has continued to be one of the standouts.
But, after every game, social media is filled with fans who doubt Austin Reaves is a legitimate player, as some believe he only gets attention because he is a Lakers player, and without that, he would be just another player, despite the fact that different teammates, league players, and head coaches have all praised Reaves.
Team USA played Germany, and Reaves scored 14 points in just 12 minutes, proving that he is a reality despite his critics’ anger.
Austin Reaves and Anthony Edwards were unbeatable.
Reaves scored 16 points, 5/9 FG, 2/2 3PT, 2 steals, +14 in plus/minus in 18 minutes of total play time, and the squad remained undefeated. Today, Reaves and Anthony Edwards stood out, defeating Dennis Schroder’s Germany team.
