He said it himself: the Pistons and a few other teams would have drafted him, but he and his agent already had the deal with the Lakers, and they specifically preferred that situation. He told teams, if they drafted him, he would refuse to sign. He and his agent prioritized being in the right situation, especially after being in the wrong place in college, initially. As far as the lack of recruiting out of high school, he said by not playing AAU … it pretty much makes you an unknown quantity. I guess college scouts and coaches only watch the big AAU tournaments, nowadays.

He played better than a lot of first round cats and should be in the first 10 picks.

I remember that TCU game as an OU fan, it was Desmond Bane vs Austin Reaves and now both of them are studs in the NBA

Been watching him since he was on the South Bay Lakers in the G-League. I knew that he was gonna be a solid role player but with how he's playing, he's a solid *starter.* A lot of casuals (and lowkey racists) say that he's only getting hyped because he's on the Lakers and is white, yet that cannot be further from the truth. Dude is actually a reliable scorer and defender. Not to mention that he's sneaky athletic and has some handles with the ball. The hype is deserved, especially since he's undrafted and was expected to be a benchwarmer. For those that are skeptical, PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch him play.

The age with Austin Reaves and Davion wasn't the factor that made Davion a top 10 pick and made Austin go undrafted. As you put, Davion Mitchell was the best offensive and defensive player on a national championship team that uprooted one of the best college basketball teams. that's what skyrocketed his stock

i like him because im a lakers fan and my name is Austin as well lol

Lakers have the best scouting dept in the world

Ya'll remember Chandler Parsons in Houston Rockets? Dude was nowhere near an allstar but played so well for a role player during his time in Houston. Could defend, could score, could play off the ball. He was basically like a swiss army knife that you could insert in multiple teams/situations and can still be very helpful to the team. That's how I view Ausin Reaves as: one of the best role players in the league. Is he currently overpaid? Yes. Will he be an allstar in the future? There is a chance, but most likely no. Stop overhyping the guy. He doesn't need the added pressure

aside from the Lakers as one of the best fan base, you can't also deny his tenacity and he plays hard, just like what Caruso
