In Tuesday’s 119-107 loss to the Nuggets, Reaves contributed 14 points (4-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), along with eight rebounds, four assists, and two steals in a 31-minute performance.

Despite encountering difficulties in field goal shooting, Reaves managed to post a commendable stat line, particularly highlighted by his eight rebounds and two steals. It’s expected that he will consistently reach double-digit scoring figures as the Lakers’ likely third scoring option behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis. However, what will truly distinguish him is his capacity to make meaningful contributions across various statistical categories beyond just scoring.
