While the fans believe Austin Reaves is overrated what NBA players think surprises

Outside of the Lakers fans, believed that Austin Reaves gets attention only because he is a purple and gold and have said on different occasions that the SG is an overrated player.

One example is when it was said that Jordan Poole is the better player, but he was traded by the Warriors while Reaves has signed a max extension of four years and 56 million. Also, Austin will be playing the FIBA World Cup with Team USA and Steve Kerr, Warriors HC, as his current manager.

And while non-Laker fans believe that Reaves is overrated and is not that great of a player, his teammates, and rivals say he is a killer. D'Angelo Russell recently said in Pat Bev's podcast that AR is a skilled player and the former Lakers PG Pat concurs with it.

Another former Laker Thomas Bryant has also said that Austin is a 'Skilled killer,' and the current Team USA head coach hasn't stopped praising the Lakers' SG game and high IQ.

NBA champion Thomas Bryant has highly praised of Austin Reaves

“Skilled killer. It’s crazy because people just now seeing what Austin can do. Put it on the floor, shoot that thing and everything, get to his spots and get to the rim but I’ve seen that throughout the whole time and throughout the summer playing with him and against him. I was like, ‘Yo, Austin’s nice. A-R’s nice, man, he can play.’ I’m generally happy for him because he just getting to showcase what he do and that’s just very happy for me to just see one of my boys just do it, man.” Said TB.
