How Austin Reeves got his place between Big 3 on Lakers
JJ Redick is validated Austin Reefis Throughout the season, he praises publicly, especially the Lakers goalkeeper as a main player in the list.
It was the subject of the first press conference for Redick as a coach in Lakers, a subject in the pre -season period, and with the start of the season appropriately against Minnesota Timberwolves, a subject before an ordinary season.
“I mentioned this several times. We talked about a ton throughout the external period. We have already seen it in the gym. He had a specific type of pie to choose from, and it is a list of choosing from so far in his career,” Redk said in October. “We will try to give him more in the list. Just make it more dynamic.”
However, there is no call from praise, nor a game playing in the late game, nor a moment more than anything I felt for Lakers about Reefis, then their decision in Memphis in late March when Redik Leberron James and Luka Densic gathered and loved together to talk about how the best players in Lakers make things work together.
Redik said: “In terms of inserting Austin, of course, it was included,” Redik said.
For Reves, there was rarely doubt. Since he played on his way from a two -way contract on the Lakers menu, and in the end, in the starting lineup, he never thought that anything he asked was too more.

However, with his responsibility on the field throughout its first season with Redick Training Lakers, the team asked for more of it, in an attempt to harness his ability as a connective character in the treasury room to a more audio presence on the field.
Amazing, Lakers prevented him from including him in the deal with Doncic, giving them a huge feature in any series that they will play this season – the ability to get three very smart game makers. And if the trends continue, the three can lead Lakers during the difficult moments that guarantee the appeal between now and the goals of the championship.
It was practical, as it was transmitting the changing roles and liquid Lakers list at all as it was one of the most stable artists in the past three seasons.
But he and the former Laker goalkeeper de Angelo Russell are often on the way to each other on the field – not in any combat way. The two are close friends. But the presence of one means sacrificing the other, and Revis was unable to fully enabled until he bought Lakers completely.
This happened before the Lakers decision to circulate Russell in late December, when the winning company “Revez” struck Christmas against Stephen Carey Woriors to add it to a growing list of Lakers.
Everyone remembered, once again, what he could do when James and Donicic missed a match in Los Angeles against Indiana Pesrez-Rivies Lakers to a great victory thanks to 45 points.
Late this season, James loudly united Rivis as a league player, echoing his praise throughout the year to the player who says he is “a super rival, making large shots and not ashamed of the moment.”
James soon got confidence after joining the team due to the high intelligence rate and competitiveness, the same characteristics that helped him link with Densic early in his time with Lakers.
“This does not surprise me,” Densic said about the level of Rivis playing. “I was watching it a lot.”
People outside the organization noticed for the first time already two years ago in his first qualifying match, when he led Lakers to beat Memphis Road and shouted “I” after the fourth quarter of the ice. However, the greatness in the American Professional League comes with more responsibility than the statistics account, and Reaves has begun to embrace this part of the job completely.
“We ask a lot of it, and it has led to the level of everything we asked to do. So I think the next step is to be more bustle often caused by things he says.”

This season, it was one of the areas that Redick encouraged him to grow.
In meetings with Reves this season, Redick encouraged decisions better. The coach said: “You must allow the pistol a house — to some extent because this is what Austin makes.” He worked with him to deal with his added responsibilities on the stadium and challenge him to be more bustle.
Reeves did this – until he embraced his role in meeting with Redic, James and Donesic when Lakers coach bowed to his stars to solve the remaining remaining puzzle of the team.
“They managed to accept this challenge of knowing something on flying in the middle of the season – all of these three men challenged it. Austin is the great training, great training. Before each challenge and transcending any kind of the basic response level that we can expect from.”
