As it is The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night, 129-119, was led by the great play of the guard Austin Reaveswho scored a record 38 points. While it is the spotlight was on Lakers star Luka Doncic, who is battling against his former teamsports analyst Skip Bailess had a different conclusion to the game regarding Reaves.

Bayless would take to social media to say that Reeves’ date was Friday and tagged the 27-year-old as “the greatest raw NBA player ever.”

“Austin Reaves (38 tonight, while Luke and LeBron play) is the greatest undrafted NBA player ever and needs to make the All-Star team,” Bayless wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

With other names like Ben Wallace, Udonis Haslem and more, Bayless and others could argue that Reaves is already at his best in terms of production at a young age. Reaves would talk about his big night, assigns attention Dončić i LeBron Jamesaccording to The Los Angeles Times.

“I finally made threes, so that was nice,” Reaves said. “Luka gets so much attention. (LeBron James) obviously (is) Bron and they’re going to get most of the attention. I’ve been kind of running around and finding open spots and making shots, hopefully big shots.”

If there’s one person who agrees with how good Reaves is, it’s James, who spoke after the game, saying that nothing about the guard shocks him anymore.

“Nothing. Nothing. I told y’all. How long ago did I tell y’all, (Reaves) can fucking play the ball? It’s nothing (new). He’s great,” James said, per Dave McMenamin.

Averaging 28.5 points through 15 games this season, Reaves is looking to continue to play for Los Angeles (14-4) as the team looks to make it seven straight against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.
