September 9 news, according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, in the new season, Los Angeles Lakers head coach J.J. Redick has high hopes for Austin Reeves. On The Hoop Collective program, Windhorst stated: “All I know is that Redick really believes in Reeves, and I think he will work hard to put Reeves in a position to succeed. What I know now is that Redick has big plans for Reeves, and furthermore, during many trade discussions with the Lakers this summer, other teams mentioned Reeves, to which the team’s response was always a refusal.” This means that Reeves is expected to become the third key player relied upon by the Lakers after LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the 2024-25 season. Over the past three seasons, Reeves has become one of the most reliable players on the Lakers’ roster. Last season, he set career-highs in multiple statistics, including points (15.9), rebounds (4.3), assists (5.5), and steals (0.8). In the 2023-24 season, his average number of shots increased from 7.7 in the 2022-23 season to 11.5 last season, while still maintaining a high shooting percentage, with a shooting percentage of 48.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 36.7% last season. With Redick taking over as the Lakers’ head coach, he may find new ways to utilize Reeves, helping the young guard take a new step forward in scoring.
