According to Dan Woike of The Los Angeles Times, Lakers head coach JJ Redick praised Reaves for his effort and IQ on the defensive end of the floor.
“I never thought he was a chump defensively, but he competes his ass off on that end,” Redick said after the Lakers’ practice Tuesday. “He knows what he’s supposed to do. He’s in the right spots. If he’s supposed to veer, he veers. If he’s supposed to be the low man, he’s the low man. If he’s supposed to be at the nail, he’s at the nail. He just does a lot of really good things on the basketball floor.”
Reaves is one of the most dynamic young playmakers in the NBA, but improvement on defense will be the key to unlocking his and the team’s full potential.
