Austin Reaves names Lakers teammate who was his first NBA mentor
There was a time not too long ago when Austin Reaves was an undrafted rookie who was trying to find his way in the NBA. As a first-year player, he averaged 7.3 points in 23.2 minutes a game, but his potential was clear, and he started to tap into that potential the following season. Learning the ropes, both on and off the court, as a young player in the NBA is difficult. But it helps considerably when such a player has at least one grizzled veteran as a teammate he can learn from.
