Fans of the Los Angeles Lakers are in awe of Austin Reaves, who is finally free of the shackles called LeBron James and Luka Doncic who were holding him back. All jokes aside, his all-around dominance to start the season has put him among the all-time greats in Lakers lore.
The Lakers are supposed to be an offensive juggernaut with three on-ball scorers and playmakers, with Austin Reaves the spunky kid filling in around his superstar older brothers (fun fact: Reaves is older than Luka Doncic).
Yet with LeBron sidelined with sciatica and Doncic now out with finger and knee injuries, Reaves stood alone as the only real offensive engine for the Lakers.
