Lakers backcourt player: That deal is shocking, but the Lakers got a super talented player

Basketball

Los Angeles Lakers backcourt star Austin Reaves recently held his own basketball training camp, where he also spoke to the media during the training camp and talked about the team's shocking deal in the mid-season.

In response, Reeves said: That was really crazy. I think this deal shocked the whole world, and we players are of course no exception. We had just won a victory in New York, and Anthony Davis was injured in that game and did not play. I don't remember the specific situation very much, we should have won about 15-20 points in that game. I think our performance as a team was getting better at that time. Reeves continued: Then that deal happened and the whole world suddenly fell into a state of madness. It was terrible to lose two good teammates, Davis and Max Christie, but fortunately, we did get a landmark talented player, Luka Doncic. With such players joining the team, all you need to do is build up good chemistry as quickly as possible. From the actual situation, I think we are doing a good job in this regard.

In the NBA regular season this season, Reeves played 73 games in 82 games, averaging 34.9 minutes per game, averaging 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 2.4 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 46%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 87.7%. During the playoffs, Reeves made a total of 5 appearances, averaging 39.3 minutes per game, with averaging 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks. He also had 2.8 turnovers and 3.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.1%, three-point shooting percentage was 31.9%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 85.7%.

In fact, after Doncic joined the team, Reeves' role also had to undergo some changes. Before Doncic joined the team, Reeves had already secured the team's starting point guard and played better and better in this position. However, after Doncic joined, Reeves returned to the second position again. Reeves and Doncic did some good performances in the second half of the regular season, but unfortunately, in the playoffs, neither player actually did not perform at their own level. Especially Reeves, his overall performance is even more worrying. Reeves undoubtedly has the ability to take on more responsibilities, but with Doncic, how he should find his way of playing is also a question mark.
