With Taurean Prince and Cam Reddish no longer in the Los Angeles Lakers’ starting lineup, Austin Reaves has assumed more crucial defensive responsibilities.
In the recent victory against the Thunder, Reaves took on the challenge of guarding Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, as highlighted by Khobi Price of the Orange County Register.
LeBron James commended Reaves for willingly accepting the defensive challenge, particularly against one of the league’s top players. The focus was on preventing unnecessary fouls and limiting Gilgeous-Alexander’s free-throw opportunities, a key aspect of his scoring.
