Lakers head coach JJ Redick has been impressed with what he’s been witneseing from his starting guard, Austin Reaves.
The Los Angeles Lakers look like they will prove the doubters wrong through two games of the season. L.A. is off to a great start; they sit at 2-0 with a chance to move to 3-0 on Saturday night against the Sacramento Kings.
Although Davis has been great, he's been receiving a ton of help from starting shooting guard Austin Reaves. Reaves had his best game of the season from the two games on Friday night against the Phoenix Suns, 123-116. Redick told the media after the game, including Jovan Buha of The Atheltic, that he knew Reaves was good but not this good.— Jovan Buha Reaves was coming off a modest performance in the season opener on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he went 6-of-14 overall and 0-of-5 from 3-point range. Reaves managed to collect 12 points with nine rebounds.
Redick believes that Reaves can reach a new level in his game, and thus far, he seems to like what he's seeing from the former Oklahoma Sooner. The 26-year-old has improved every season in his career. His points per game numbers have jumped along with his assists, rebounds, steals, and minutes.
