Austin Reaves

Austin Reaves propelled the seventh-seeded Los Angeles Lakers into the Western Conference semifinals one breathtaking bucket at a time. The second-year guard capped an unforgettable First Round series against the Memphis Grizzlies with unlimited style points as he snared a defensive rebound and led the counterattack, finishing with a side-step layup that left an overwhelmed Memphis defense scratching its collective head. Reaves helped finish the Grizzlies off in Game 6 with an 11-point, 6-rebound, 8-assist performance in the runaway 125-85 victory on April 28, 2023. The undrafted Reaves averaged 16.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists in his first career postseason series.
