This season was a triumphant one for Austin Reaves, who went from a talent-laden undrafted rookie last year to an established difference-maker this year. He is set to get paid handsomely as a free agent this summer, and fans of the Los Angeles Lakers hope his next contract will be with the Purple and Gold.
They’re also hoping Max Christie, a second-round draft pick in 2022 out of Michigan State University, will make a similar jump next season.
