Austin Reaves has been positively electric for the Los Angeles Lakers this season. His notable uptick in productivity has made it obvious that he is becoming the exact kind of star that this team wants to have playing alongside Luka Doncic.
Through the first eight games of the Lakers' season, Reaves is averaging a stunning 31.1 points per game. This prolonged stretch of high level play is indicative of the fact that Austin is not simply riding a hot streak. Rather, he's evolving and becoming an even greater player than he was before.
Lakers fans have been ecstatic to see this leap unfolding in real time.
