Preparation is underway for Team USA, logically among the favorites for the upcoming World Cup. This is an opportunity for some players to gain experience, as is the case with the Laker Austin Reaves. And he doesn’t just watch according to the journalists…
A few weeks before the start of the World Cup, it is still difficult to know who will win the competition. We obviously hope that France will do something, but watch out for Slovenia and especially Team USA, despite significant absences. Anthony Edwards and company do not come to make up the numbers, which is especially true for Austin Reaves.
A starting Laker with Team USA?
A “surprise” guest on Steve Kerr’s roster, Reaves was rewarded with a contract worth more than 50 million with the Angelinos. If some doubted it, the player is really very talented, as he is proving at the Team USA training camp. AR15 continues the good performances, including with the holders. Is Steve Kerr trying to send a message?

Some impressive moves for Austin Reaves in this first quarter of scrimmage. He put a 3 point basket in transition. A few possessions before, he got an offensive foul on Chet Holmgren in transition. He also planted a pull-up from the baseline on Jalen Green and Holmgren.
We do not yet know the exact role of Reaves, but he should find his place quickly in Steve Kerr’s roster. A kind of X factor capable of doing everything on a parquet floor. There is no doubt that Lakers supporters will be there to admire his World Cup.
Austin Reaves finds confidence with Team USA, which is a great point for the Lakers. A definitely special player, but above all very valuable in view of this World Cup. Steve Kerr must be the first delighted with his presence for this competition.
