Lakers' Austin Reaves: Big night at charity stripe
Reaves scored 16 points (2-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT) while adding seven assists, five rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Timberwolves.
While the fourth-year guard struggled to find his shot, Reaves still tied for the team lead in scoring on the night with rookie Dalton Knecht thanks to his success at the free-throw line. Reaves also led the Lakers in assists and steals, a good early sign that he figures to be a key figure for the team at both ends of the court this season. The 26-year-old posted career-best numbers in 2023-24 with 15.9 points, 5.5 assists, 1.9 threes and 0.8 steals over 82 regular-season games, but he may not have found his ceiling yet.
