According to a recent report, the Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Reaves is already penciled in as a starter for the team.
“[Russell] Westbrook is obviously an option, though his poor shooting and defensive effort are concerns during important possessions in close games,” Jovan Buha of The Athletic wrote while discussing one potential closing lineup for the Lakers. “Kendrick Nunn, Lonnie Walker IV, Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson also are candidates to close games in place of [Troy] Brown or [Juan] Toscano-Anderson. (Reaves is penciled in as a starter and closer based on the chatter out of the organization.)”
Last season, Reaves averaged 7.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 23.2 minutes per game. He suited up for 61 games and started 19 of those contests.
