The rookie of the year Paolo Banchero ended the game being the best scorer for USA with 21 points but the best player for many was Austin Reaves who scored 12 points but had six assists and also changed the game on the defensive end.

Reaves was so great that the crowd went nuts, which caused many to yell "Austin, you're him!" which had Anthony Edwards on the way to the locker room laughing and also said to Reaves "Austin, you're him!"

It may been a joke, but Edwards did acknowledge Reaves' great game and has added fire to the speculation that Anthony could be coming to the Lakers sometime in the future.
