Who ever is scouting for the lakers knows what he's doing.
Definitely
Definitely. This was my response to people who questioned the lakers’ future. The lakers have one of the best scouting teams in the league
Could not agree more the lakers been drafting amazingly well Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle, Josh hart Jordan Clarkson D'Angelo Russell, zubac curoso Lonzo ball and more all tearing up the league
The buss kids
@@evelynmartinez8045 also Kyle Kuzma, Thomas Bryant, Moe Wagner, Larry Nance jr, and the slam dunk contest winner/g league mvp Mac mcclung
He plays like a veteran... in only his second season. Insane progress!
I wanna see him go off in the playoffs he seems to shine brightest under pressure and if he can do it then he deserves the big bucks
He didn't disappoint you. He singlehandedly took over the 4th quarter in game 1 against Memphis.
He does for sure!!! Shinning in the play-offs so far!!!!!!!!! He will continue to do so!!!!!! Love rhus kid!!!!
The Lakers need to make it happen for A.R. The Lakers have traded away a lot of young good talent. I hope they realize what they have in Austin Reeves.
He starts...they know.
@@b3at2 If they go Deep they cant afford him.
@@pbiza they can, itll just be expensive
Hands down my FAVORITE player on the team
Traded away a lot of young good talents that has no defense! Look at dallas now, they are like the lakers in the beginning of the season! Everybody is in the playoff mode, so your team needs godd defense!
AR15 my fav Laker player right now⚡️⚡️⚡️
I always love seeing people who work hard and against all odds become dawgs. Let's hope Austin manages to sustain his amazing form for years to come. I always remember Jeremy Lin's dominating stretch of games. Too bad It didn't last for too long.
AR-15 is the one gem we found in a terrible Lakers season. The guy can hoop
Terrible? what is wrong with your brain? you even watch lakers basketball? peep the standings dummy!
Hillbilly Kobe has a better ring to it
Yeah, too bad AR-fucking 15's are killing innocent children and adults, but you hosebags could care less.
How about we don't use AR-15 as a nickname? Pretty insensitive to the dead children and adults recently.
@@whitneymacdonald4396 why blame the gun? If someone is insensitive ots the government who doesnt want to regulate gun control
He's just getting started. I love his game
I am Lakers hater since 1995, but it is impossible not be fascinated by underdog success story, wish him the very best.
Same!
i feel more relaxed watching him than seeing westbrook with the ball.... Reeves connects well with Lebron and AD plays and he has also built a good playing combination with DLO.. he is good in free throws and can defend very well.. he is very good in fade aways... he is a hustlers that makes life tough for opponent, what else does a team need? i love watching him...
Pay the man!
Very humble guy. A rarity among NBA players.
Very humble for now....
No lie
White boys are always humble in comparison to black boys.
Not hunble at all. He declined the Pistons who wanted to draft him so he could join LA.
@vulcanraven9701 he did not want pistons to draft him because he knew he will have less to no chance to be in rotation due to so many high picks at his position. It's common sense with this regard.
Lakers currently have talents to fight. As long as they have the chemistry, they can upset any team that underrated them. For Austin Reeves, as long as he stays healthy, he will stay successful. Humble spirits seem to have longevity in their endeavors, and he comes off as a humble man.
I love how Austin Reaves plays with such creativity and originality, he's always thinking outside the box.
He's going to be a STAR, so don't let him go
The next Jerry West! Talk to the man himself and he’ll tell you he got his attributes. I watched “The Logo” growing up and he played the same as this kid.
His basketball IQ is what makes him so good, he doesn't force them game and makes the right decisions.
He's a quick thinker in the game!!!!!!!
Austin Reaves will be the next Steph Curry and Austin Reaves workout with Steph Curry in the offseason
Reaves is magical! He's the toughest cutie I've seen! Go Lakers!!!!!!!!
That exactly why I have his jersey 🤙…. He’s not givin as much credit as he deserves but I feel like he might be the next star of the lakers 🟨🟪
He's very likeable both as a person and as a player. Lebron must be thrilled to be playing with a guard who can create his own shot for himself.
Austin Reeves reminds me of John Stockton & Chris Paul when he plays. He is great at handling the ball and can read a defense on pick and rolls . All his shot attempts are based on what he can get and hardly forces any shots. Next year he will be the a monster . Lakers need to do whatever it takes to resign him!
Man I wish him all the best playing for the Lakers he's been a tremendous asset to the franchise , "Go Hill Billie Kobe"
AR his smart player high IQ every single game dude i hope manager lakers not trade him for another team
Lakers man. He can play.
The dude works hard because he was freaking CATTLE FARMER! Nuff said💪
Clearly wants to have a different life!
Austin Reaves is my favorite NBA player right now
Austin Reaves fits perfectly with the Lakers. I hope that they don't let him slip away.
Great vid! crazy that you only have 500 subscribers, keep it up
Another amazing video! Loving your content DAWG 💪
This made me smile, thank you. ❤
He’s a natural baller. Reminds me of Pistol Pete.
People gotta understand he's standing out in a team of Lebron, Westbrook, AD, now Dlo. Imagine if he was the go to guy?? He has a lot to work on but he's improving at a fascinating pace.
Yes he will continue to grow and shine!!!!
I LOVE Austin Reaves! And I don't say that about many players. He has underestimated basketball skills (shooting, dribbling, passing,defense....but most importantly Tenacity and Basketball IQ). I love how he knows how to create contact with his body and get the AND ONE. I love how he doesn't back down from anyone. He's like Caruso BUT better offensively. He still needs to improve his strength and explosiveness but the Lakers need to sign him to a lengthy extension.
Reeves is the kuzma we never gotten.
Austin Reeves is da real deal.
Don't know what nobody talking bout reaves been the shit since he got there sometimes you gotta give people a chance to really show they hidden talent keep up the good work A.R
4years 50 million is bargain for this guy, he’s legit.
Reeves is so good
He's the reincarnation of humble version of Larry Bird, but in the Lakers Team. 😁
0:50 if you look closely at the facial features you can see a white Mamba
Never discount a highly motivated player, they always come good!
This is a very good video. Well done!
What I think is amazing is that he is getting lessons from one of the smartest basketball players ever.
I know a man just like Reeves from Arkansas who has a very high IQ.
If Austin Reaves wants to become like Steph or Larry Bird he needs to cultivate 42%+ from 3 and that too with a quick release.
He doesnt need to be a 3 point shooting guy. He plays like kobe with lebrons IQ. Plus dude is Strooonggg
Bro pay this guy 40-50M and lock him na here in LA.
LAL management will get clown on if they let a offense smart IQ underrated Mini Kobe walk
They have to same with vando and dlo them 3 are the guys to lead us forward post lebron era
Reaves should walk, Lakers will try to underpay him
Hopefully Lakers make smart decision. They developed players for other teams, THT got 41 points the same day AR-15 got 35 points.
Tht doesn't play defense
Who is tht
@@1482speedy Talen Horton Tucker
Whoever the laker’s scouter is, he should an immediate salary raise
Thank you for appreciating Austin Reaves
Reaves is like Luka doncic style give him credit
Stop worrying AR will be re-sign by the Lakers. Stop giving playing time to Brown over Hachimora and Lonnie Walker. Austin Reaves has earned his playing time in the starting lineup.
We don’t know what he’s going to do when the team is healthy? He’s in the playoffs BALLING!
Great video. Great research. 👍🏾
HE IS PLAYING BASKETBALL LIKE MANU GINOBLI ...HE IS SMART PLAYER.
whatever he makes in his next contract will be more than he ever imagined.
He was great in Ferris Bueller as Cameron
4 years $50 mil for this dude is a bargain. If that's what it takes, the Lakers better sign this dude for that.
Freakin’ rare! Humble with class, even more rare! Hope my lakers keep him for good.
Ma’ fuckin’ White Mamba! AR15
This guy should be a role model for all young kids playing in small towns. Sometimes it seems like you’ll never get noticed. But if you’re good enough, people will take notice, and opportunities will present themselves.
Luckily for Austin, he was given the opportunity to play for good teams and EARN his shine. He’s a great story for the NBA. And he’s one of the guys I’m trying to get my teenage son to look up to.
Interestingly enough his final year of college he played against Mac McClung and yet it was Austin Reeves that has excelled I think it was his humility and his desire to be a a team player and not make it all about him that helped him to become a better player because that's definitely what I saw with him here at Oklahoma and certainly see it with him there at the Lakers... Regardless of where he ends up next I hope he gets his reward because he has earned it.
Great video man. Keep it up!
❤️❤️
He got game
AR will most likely be an AllStar next year.
It's interesting, because I just watched a video on Ben Simmons, and it's stark the differences between the two and the trajectory they've taken based on their work ethic.
I hope Lakers keep ar15 he is a straight hooper plus Bron loves him
See if the Lakers do always threes at the start of the game they will be a formidable team, hard to conquer. The only thing that is missing the lakers is a rim protector. They do not need a very tall defender. What they need is a strong build warrior, intelligent and who can truly defend the rim. All he has to master is only free throw. Because most of the time he will be fouled by the opposing team. If they can look for a rim defender like that. Then I could say, they are indespensable. They have good if not perfect three point shooters. They do not need anymore shooters. All they ultimately do is always harass the ball handler. Then they could be far away behind their opponents.
O country boy showing out he is going to show out in the playoffs this year watch
So mad, we could have had Alex Caruso - Austin Reaves as a top duo
I played against him in high school he was a 7th grader playing against 9th graders we beat them by 12 points but we were a bigger school. Awesome to see a fellow baller go crazy.
Nice Vid Man!!!
#AR15 💪🏀✨
HE WORKS ON HIS MFing GAME AR☆15
this kid is the real deal.
nice production
Every team need a ball player with good IQ. Lakers are lucky to be have this guy and Lebron together.
His profile while dribbling looks like Jerry west on the logo.
I think playing with Lon Kruger was the best decision he made. Kruger is extremely underrated.
now, he has a signature shoe!!!
Well deserved !
His ball handling and shots reminds me of Larry Bird. Very good player, wish him the best.
2 season- 24 millions would be level, never know if he shows surprise in playoff-then cloud be more
Very confident player. He'll do well with his mindset.
Whoa! they turned him turn and he proved them wrong…… he’s a baller lol 😂💪🏿 go Austin ..
From the looks of it... This guy is also packing down there..
4yrs $50m would be a bargain for a guy that runs the second unit ON ANY TEAM. And he’s lakers legit leader when the two best players who take 2/3 of the whole team salary cap aren’t playing
He's a strong MIP candidate
The "Pundits" underestimated his mind and his heart.
So cute and clean I love him No tattoos go AR,you are the one who done the escort for team lakars
For the Lakers...A.R very massive still very smart young guy a decision makers ..His one creator in the higher level will bring another Banners in the City of Los Angeles...as long every body are healthy...in due time 2 or 3 Banners will hang in Lakers Histories!!!
Was fun watching Austin grow up . What a good man he is . Oh yes there is basketball also
This guy is gonna be a BIG PROBLEM for years to come.
A 360° & inside recovery with his left hand...
Star in the BREAKING!!
I saw him play Gonzaga in the NCAA tournament. He should have been a first round pick.
My favorite current NBA player. Not because hes the next LeBron but because hes the guy that wasnt supposed to make it or hes not good enough hes not athletic enough but here he is he got paid and not only that hes on team USA and he is the 3rd leading scorer on the team 👏
Bro is literally living irl 2k my career
Austin I love ur game and thank u for choosing us!!! I'm a die hard kobe fan so ur our brother and forever u will be in our hearts! Keep working and getting better light skin 🤣💪💯👌 I mean he said no to a team to get drafted 🤣 also thank u Rob 👏 u are a God send or should we say Kobe send 😉🙏
100%Def&Def&Def#Austin
He can be an all star
He is like Larry
i have my new idol , kobe,lebron,kyrie,korver,dwade,caruso and now RV15
The thumbnail really showed him as a dawg
