Austin Reaves plays exactly like you’d want a role player that surrounds superstar players on your favorite basketball team to play. He’s always giving 110% on the floor, he has a nose for the ball, and he always — whether it be from his intellect, or some otherworldly basketball magic bestowed upon him — finds himself making the right play at the right time. And this all comes from a player that went undrafted prior to his rookie season.
All of those qualities, along with the Lakers jersey that he wears, have beckoned comparisons to one Alex Caruso.
