Austin Reaves has been around the league for two years, in that time he has managed to become the third-best player on the roster just behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis, is the starting PG, and has just signed a max extension for four years and 56 million.

Not only has Reaves shined as a Laker, he is now with Team USA and is about to play in the FIBA World Cup. USA has been playing some practice games against other national teams and Reaves hasn't stopped being one of the standouts, despite his detractor's displeasure.

But every single game, social media is filled with fans that still doubt Austin Reaves being a legitimate player, as some believe that he only gets attention because he is a Lakers player, and without that, he would be just another player despite different teammates, players in the league and head coaches having only praise for Reaves.

Team USA played against Germany and Reaves was able to score 14 points in just 12 minutes, showing he is a reality despite his doubters and detractors displeasure.

Anthony Edwards and Austin Reaves were unstoppable

In 18 minutes of total play time, Reaves scored 16 points, 5/9 FG, 2/2 3PT, 2 steals, +14 in the plus/minus and the team remains to be undefeated. Today, Reaves and Anthony Edwards were the standouts and defeat Dennis Schroder's Germany Team.
