Today, because the Lakers are back-to-back games, the main players of the Lakers are absent in a large area in today's game, and players such as Doncic, Vincent, and Finneysmith did not play. But despite being a remnant, they narrowly missed out on a win against the Nuggets today. Today, the Lakers are led by Reaves, who scored 37 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists in the game today, almost leading the Lakers to overturn the Nuggets. This game really showed Reeves' ability to lead the team, and it also showed his current level of play.

As an undrafted pick, Reeves' career at the current level has indeed broken through many people's imagination. In the first two years, when he was paired with Russell, the two were often compared, and now it seems that the Lakers have made a very wise choice to keep Reaves, and his current ability is indeed much better than Russell's, at least on the court, his scoring consistency is very strong. When he's not having a good time on the outside, he'll try to score inside or make fouls, and overall he has more scoring skills than Russell seems to have.

After Doncic joined the Lakers, he thought that Reaves' stats would drop badly, but now he has not been affected too much, and his overall performance has been better. Redick has really given Reaves more space since he coached the Lakers this season, and his percentage of ball possession has slowly increased, which has also contributed to his improvement to a certain extent. After James retires, Reaves will partner Doncic in the backcourt, which is also a very exciting backcourt combination.

For Reaves, he may need to improve his ability on the defensive end next, and he may as well try to build muscle in the offseason, because many teams will still focus on Reaves when facing the Lakers. As he gains muscle, he increases his ability to fight and his threat on the defensive end so that he doesn't become a hole. It's like Curry's defensive effect has increased significantly after gaining muscle in the first two years. For Reaves, his ability to become an offensive and defensive player in the future will help him go more smoothly in his career.
