Austin Reaves has seen his production rise each season with the Los Angeles Lakers. This year was no exception, as he averaged 20.2 points and 5.8 assists per game, a significant improvement from last year’s numbers of 15.9 points and 4.7 assists per game.
Shooting Efficiency
Reaves’ shooting efficiency was inconsistent throughout the season, but it showed signs of improvement after the February trade that brought Luka Doncic to the team in exchange for Rui Hachimura.
- In his final 17 regular-season games following the trade, Reaves shot:
- .524 overall
- .424 from three-point range
- Averaged nearly 24.9 points per game, an increase from his performance before the trade.
Playoff Performance
Despite struggling in their first-round playoff series against Minnesota, Austin Reaves expressed enthusiasm about his time with the Lakers during an exit interview. He stated, "I loved my time here," without hesitation.
Future Outlook
Reaves’ growth this season is a testament to his hard work and dedication to improving as a player. His performance will likely be closely watched by fans and analysts alike as they look forward to seeing what he can do next season, with or without Doncic on board.
- Lakers fans will be eager to see if Reaves can continue this upward trend in future seasons under new leadership or circumstances within the team.
- His production increased each season since joining Los Angeles, despite struggling during the series against Minnesota.
- He averaged over four more points per game compared to last year, despite inconsistent shooting efficiency throughout most of the past campaign.
In summary, Austin Reaves has shown significant improvement and potential, making him a player to watch in the upcoming seasons.
