Austin Reaves: From Undrafted to Lakers Hero

Mini Story: Austin Reaves – From Underdog to Lakers' Hero

The Small-Town Dream
Austin Reaves grew up in Newark, Arkansas, a small town with a population of just over 1,000. Basketball was his escape, and he spent countless hours shooting on a makeshift hoop in his driveway. Despite his talent, he wasn’t a highly touted recruit, starting his college career at Wichita State before transferring to Oklahoma.

Proving the Doubters Wrong
After going undrafted in 2021, Reaves bet on himself, signing a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. Many saw him as just another fringe NBA player, but his work ethic and basketball IQ stood out. He earned the trust of Coach Darvin Ham and became a key role player alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

'Hillbilly Kobe' Rises
Fans nicknamed him 'Hillbilly Kobe' for his clutch shooting and fearless mentality. In March 2023, he dropped a career-high 35 points against the Orlando Magic, including a game-winning three-pointer. The Lakers' playoff push that season was fueled by Reaves' steady improvement, and he became a fan favorite.
