[LoJoMedia] Luka Doncic on Austin Reaves: “This guy just scored 30 in his fourth game in five days. He’s an amazing player. For him to go undrafted is unbelievable.”

1. Just Charizard praising Charmeleon

2. Taylor Swift chose wrong

3. He’s kind of a fake undrafted player, iirc he would have gone at like 40 to Detroit but turned them down

4. AR is proof of hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. I’m taking him all day over Beal

5. I said the same thing about Ben Wallace after Malice in the Palace

6. AR basically living the 2K dream, went undrafted and now a key player.

7. amazing, unbelievable, you know. So tuff man

8. 28.
   37.
   28.
   30.

   4 game stretch.

   2-2 over that stretch, should have been 3-1, that Nuggets game was awful to watch

9. I mean he’s not wrong

10. Life is damn good

11. “I’m so glad he wasn’t in the trade package”

12. Ngl he don’t look fat here

13. Kobe of the Ozark!

14. I was surprised he didn’t get drafted. His NCAA tournament game was insane, he made like 8 insanely tough lay ups in a row. Was baffled he didn’t get drafted.

15. Damn give this man something to eat, he looks skinny

16. When AR was kinda ass for 2 games coming back from injury people here were shitting on him lmao

17. He’s one of the best 3rd options in the league, he’s like a Booker-lite in the sense of being able to score on and off the ball at essentially the same level while also being a plus playmaker. Just a perfect fit, and he’s one of the best value contracts in the league at 14 million.

18. “Unbelievable”
    “Amazing”

    Luka just like me fr fr. We non native english speakers, just spam the same words

19. Wasn’t he undrafted because he wanted to sign with Lakers and Rich Paul called around other teams to not draft him? Might be wrong but i recall some sort of story like this

20. I want him to praise Charmander too 😂

21. well it was their choice to be undrafted. his agent made a deal with the Lakers and ask the other teams to not draft his client.

22. Did Austin choose to go undrafted bc the pistons were picking him or something ?

23. I hope Luka and Austin stay together long-term. Could be a great duo

24. To be fair, he wasn’t going to go undrafted. There was a team that had intentions of drafting him in the second round but he had his agent let everyone know that he wanted to be a Laker and to not draft him so he could sign with them 😭

25. AR is the real life 2k16 mycareer

26. He chose to go undrafted

27. Rookies still have little kid energy

28. It was crazy to me that not a single team tried to offer him more than the Lakers could back when Austin was a restricted free agent

29. Reaves was tremendous at Oklahoma. I had no idea whether or not he had the athleticism to be a pro, but it was absolutely obvious that he had the drive.

    Though Reaves wasn’t *exactly* undrafted. Apparently, Detroit wanted him at 42, and his agent basically said “no”. I wonder how often that happens. Definitely worked out for him!

30. I’m the biggest University of Oklahoma sports stan, and even I could have never imagined his rise. I thought he’d be a decent, unathletic rotation guy *at best*. lmao

    Pleasantly surprised to be so wrong.

31. beeent called this…. While everyone was chanting westbrick it was clear that LA brought Russ in to help develop AR15. Everyone that Russ has ever put under his wing literally jumps a whole ass pay grade. Shit PG13 lierally plaeyd the best basketball of his life wiht Russ and hes still getting paid off of that shit.

32. He went undrafted only because the Lakers promised to sign him and he told teams not to take him.

    The Lakers get gifted the most out of any team in the league.
