    When writing my essay in the other thread, I noticed that our top3 future players are AR, Knecht and Max. Interesting that they all play similar roles, at the 2/3 position.

    Can be relevant in terms of roster construction for the future, as we can focus in true point guards, big wings and centers.
    Not so sure if it impacts future picks tho, I always advocate to pick the best player available and figure it out later. There's few exceptions to that

    Another curiosity, is that the 2 is usually a spot for a superstar (Ant, Booker...), so it may actually be a good thing as we can part with one of them (or 2) if we find ourselves bidding for such superstars

    (This post couldn't scream more that we are in peak low season for basketball )

    Undrafted rookie Quincy Olivari, who recently signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Lakers, spoke with Lakers Nation’s own Trevor Lane and named Reaves as the player who has impressed him so far.

    “My first day, I would say for the first time we did fives where it was kind of more controlled… Austin Reaves is really, really good at basketball,” Olivari said. “It’s just different when you’re out there, how smart he is, how he can just bait you into certain things, certain passes he makes, him in the pick-and-roll. I was like ‘Dawg, I can’t wait to learn from him.’ I mean, everybody is out there doing well, but I remember I was just like yeah, Austin Reaves, he’s really good.”

    Reaves’ game has progressed in each of his three seasons with the Lakers and it appears that will be the case once again going into Year 4.

    And unlike a year ago when Reaves played for Team USA in the FIBA World Cup over the summer and reported to camp with some tired legs, he looks to be fresh and ready to go this season. Reaves still played in all 82 games during the 2023-24 season despite his stint with USA Basketball.

    From both of his interviews with Lane, Quincy has come across as a really good kid. I really hope he shines bright in the G-League and makes it to the NBA someday.

    If this fool can’t score 20 points per game this season then all my belief in him is wasted:giggle:

    Good.

    I want Austin in initiating offense this season as long as he can get better at handling full court pressure and not getting turned. That’s one skill Dlo is excellent at, but I think he’d be at his best catching the pass from Austin for the shot.
