Reeves: I have the ability to be an All-Star. Although I have no contract renewal this summer, I want to stay with the Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers held a media day event for the new season. During the team's backcourt star Austin Reaves was interviewed by reporters, and he also talked about his goals in the interview. Reaves believes he has a chance to become an All-Star player. In addition, he also talked about not completing a contract renewal with the Lakers during the offseason.

When talking about his goals, Reeves said: I feel like I can be an All-Star, but in my opinion, all this is relative and requires some opportunities and opportunities. Anyway, I would like to thank God for my chances of playing with LeBron James and Luka Doncic. Reeves continued: I don't want to be in an environment where I can only keep taking action or try my best to brush data. If the path to becoming an All-Star player is like that, I don't care at all. When talking about the failure to reach an agreement with the Lakers on a contract extension, Reeves said: After all, this is just a business. I didn't reach an extension with the Lakers, but that doesn't mean I don't want to stay in Los Angeles. I've had a lot of great time here, I hope I can stay in Los Angeles for the entire career, and I hope we can achieve this in the future.

In the NBA regular season last season, Reeves played 73 games in 82 games, averaging 34.9 minutes per game, averaging 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 2.4 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 46%, a three-point shooting percentage of 37.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 87.7%. In the playoffs, Reeves played 5 games in total, with averaging 39.3 minutes per game, averaging 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks. He also had 2.8 turnovers and 3.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.1%, three-point shooting percentage was 31.9%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 85.7%.

Reeves performed quite well during the NBA regular season last season. He showed very comprehensive personal abilities. His position was constantly switching and swinging, but he was able to complete his tasks well. His scoring ability, organization and tandem ability were quite good. However, Reeves' performance during the playoffs last season was not ideal, and he did not show enough competitiveness, which largely led to the Lakers being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. For Reeves, the new season is also an excellent season for him to prove his ability and determine the amount of his next contract. What kind of performance can he perform under heavy pressure?
