Shooting a deadly three-pointer in 0.9 seconds to help the Lakers beat the Lone Rangers in overtime, Reeves proved his strength with a stunning performance in this game, and his performance in this campaign masked the same outstanding performances of James, Westbrook and Davis, and there is no doubt that this game became the focus of the whole game, which is also the best game he has played since entering the league.
After the game, Lakers star James praised and recognized Reeves, and when talking about Reeves's performance, James expressed pride and excitement for Reeves, and then he gave reeves the ball in the locker room.
On social media, James once again congratulated Reeves on his performance. From this aspect, it is enough to see that Reeves has won the recognition and respect of James in this game, and James is very satisfied with the performance of the rookie.
I believe that many fans know that Reeves is a missed draft, in the NBA, a talent-oriented league, Reeves's starting point is not high, and even far behind the same year's high-ranking players who were selected. However, Reeves did not give up his career, although he was a missed draft, but he showed a very high ball quotient in the game, he knew how to play with the stars in the game, he was smart in handling the ball, and there were no unnecessary mistakes and fouls. In many games, Reeves can help the team, and in the Lakers' tactical system, Reeves plays a very important role.
So far this season, Reeves has averaged 19.7 minutes per game and has 5.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists, shooting 50% from the field and 39% from three-point range. Although Reeves's personal data is not luxurious, his help to the team is not reflected in many data.
When he's in the game, the team averages 4.2 points per game, which is 35th in the league, and among the Lakers, this data is the first. When he plays, there will be a very obvious improvement in both ends of the team's attack and defense, the overall performance of the team will be better, and he will help the team to become stronger on the field.
Reeves plays very hard, and with less offensive talent than most players, he has won the team's recognition with his defense, and he will do his best to limit the play of the opposing players during the game, so that the opponent cannot get better shooting space.
In terms of scrambling, Reeves is also very hard, and his interference with the opponent's two-point shooting and three-point shooting, both of which are also at the top of the team. In the games that have ended the new season, Reeves' defensive efficiency is as high as 98.3, which is 11th in the league, and in the whole team, he is also ranked 1st, a significant lead over other players. In this respect, it is enough to see how well Reeves has performed on the defensive end.
Reeves is a fantastic young man who went from being a draft pick to being the focus of attention while also getting the approval of James, the core of the team, who spent just 17 games. This season, he has only played 17 games, has been in the team's main rotation lineup, and in the Lakers this season, Reeves is a young man who has impressed fans very much.
Seeing Reeves, I thought of Caruso, in my opinion, these two players have a lot of similarities, both are very good failures. Caruso has been successful in this league, helping the team win the championship and personally winning a big contract, and it is worth looking forward to whether Reeves can do this.
