VOGEL: I didn't expect Reeves to get into the rotation at all, and he took the opportunity

Live Bar January 7 News Recently, Lakers coach Vogel talked about the team's losing draft Reeves.

"Before the draft, I watched the videotape of him playing in college and knew that this kid has certain abilities. Then through the summer league, see his performance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. But honestly, when I signed him to the team's 15-man roster, I had no idea he would be a rotation player early in his career. Vogel said.

Vogel added: "Because of the injury, the team is short of manpower, and at this time he is almost forced to play. I trusted him as if to say 'okay, let's see what he can do'. He did a great job and held out until the other players returned, at which point we still wanted to keep his role. Of course, he's normal in and out of the lineup, but he's been conscientious on both ends of the line. ”

So far this season, Reeves has played in 20 games for the Lakers, including 13 games that have played more than 20 minutes, and in these 13 games, the Lakers have won 11 and lost 2.

Of the players who have played at least 20 games this season, each with at least 20 minutes, Reeves is seventh in the league with a net efficiency of +11.1.
