You have to be a strong competitor if you want to make it in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NBA</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota%C2%A0timberwolves" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Timberwolves </a>star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-edwards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthony Edwards</a> is, by all means, a very competitive person.



He’s been used to being in the spotlight since his days in high school, and he’s lived up to the expectations that come with being the first-overall pick in the NBA Draft.



That’s why he wants what he’s due, and he wasn’t ready to come off the bench for Team USA. However, contrary to what some outlets reported, he has no beef with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors </a>coach Steve Kerr.



<h2>Anthony Edwards Is Cool With Steve Kerr</h2>



“I mean, of course I wasn’t cool with it,” the Georgia product told The Athletic. “If that’s what it takes, I mean, I am willing to do it, but nah, I’m never cool with that.”



“[Coach Steve Kerr] said Dwyane Wade came off the bench when Kobe played. I was like, all right, we don’t have a Kobe, but all right. But it was cool,” Edwards continued.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230824#BUS#51924"></div>


Edwards does a lot of talking and has a lot of confidence in his game, but at least he’s always been able to back it up on the court, so props to him for taking what he thinks should be his.

Team USA is gearing up for the FIBA World Cup without the main NBA stars. However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steve-kerr">Steve Kerr</a> is going to coach a roster full of talent, including players like Anthony Edwards, Brandon Ingram, and Mikal Bridges among others.



The tune-up matchups they have had so far has given a great impression of the team, having won all four of them. They defeated Puerto Rico, a Luca Doncic-less Slovenia, Spain, and Greece for a combined 102 points.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230818#BUS#48733"></div>


This time, the competition that is scheduled to begin on August 25, may not have the US overwhelmingly above the rest. The coach of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> aimed at the points of concern.



<h2>Steve Kerr on Team USA’s Rebounding and Turnovers</h2>



Kerr has led the Warriors to four championships in the last decade, largely thanks to having <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> in the lineup. However, there is no denying the head coach also did his part. One characteristic that defines Golden State is their preference for utilizing versatile players, even when they lack ideal size.



Precisely this idea is the one he’s been applying in their matchups, with a starting five of Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, Mikal Bridges, Brandon Ingram and Jaren Jackson Jr. According to Kerr getting rebounds is an area the team should emphasize, but they have solid there. The other concerning aspect are turnovers, which has been an issue more so than the rebounding.



“The concern is turnovers and rebounds. If we stay even on the possession game, I feel great about our chances against anybody. The way teams can beat us is if they get extra possessions and force a lot of turnovers and we’re not sharp and we’re not boxing out. And I’ve told our guys that. It’s not really a secret.”, Kerr explained about what could hurt the team in the tournament.

Steve Kerr Reveals What Could Beat Team USA - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors </a>made a huge move when they decided to trade<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Jordan Poole</a>, not only because of what they were losing, but also because of the financial implications under the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA’</a>s new CBA.



New General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. needed to find ways to have more financial flexibility, especially considering they needed to sign Draymond Green to an extension.



With that in mind, it seems like they’re looking forward to keeping their Dynasty core together for many more years, as Dunleavy recently opened up on his desire to extend both <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/klay-thompson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Klay Thompson</a> and Steve Kerr.



<h2>NBA Rumors: Warriors Working On Extensions For Klay Thompson And Steve Kerr</h2>



“Those are guys we definitely want to get locked up moving forward,” Dunleavy said on the Dubs Talk podcast. “Been a big part of what we’ve done here and I think they can still contribute, especially Klay on the court. Steve, one of the best, if not the best coach in the league.”



“So, high priority level in terms of getting those guys done,” Dunleavy added. “We’ll see. Obviously, there’s always a financial component and (do) guys want to be here and all that. We greatly value them and hope we can work things out.”



“We have had good conversations and I think we’ll continue to do that,” the executive added. “Optimistic that we can work things out with both those guys.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230809#BUS#43638"></div>


While Kerr was non-committal about his future with the organization, Thompson has often talked about his desire to stay in the Bay area for the remainder of his career, so it might be just a matter of time before they get a deal done.

Steve Kerr and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> changed the way NBA basketball was played. And while <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry’s </a>presence obviously was the main reason, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green’s </a>unique skill set also helped.



That’s why it’s not surprising to see that Coach Kerr is looking to replicate his flawless system with Team USA ahead of the upcoming FIBA World Cup in the Phillippines.



With that in mind, he’s set to use reigning <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA </a>Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero as a small-ball five, as he believes he could bring a lot of the table with his shooting and playmaking.



<h2>Steve Kerr Confirms Paolo Banchero Will Play At Center</h2>



“He’s gonna play some 5,” Kerr told ESPN. “One of the things we really found in [2021] in the Tokyo Olympics was having a 5 who can push the ball and transition and create plays is very difficult for FIBA teams to handle.“



“So he can play some 4, as he showed, but he’ll play plenty of 5, as well,” the coach confirmed.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230809#BUS#43303"></div>


This version of Team USA is the youngest we’ve seen in ages, so there will be some growing pains. Then again, they’re talented enough to bring home the gold, even despite their lack of experience.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a> trade to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> took the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> community by surprise. Not because Steve Kerr‘s team didn’t need to make moves, but many wonder how the veteran guard will fit next to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> and company.



At 38, the veteran star will have a legitimate chance to win a highly elusive championship. However, it’s uncertain whether he’ll be part of the starting five or if he’ll have to come off the bench for the first time in his career.



Either way, many still wonder why the Warriors pulled off this deal. Even though there’s still a long way to go for training camp, Kerr explained what CP3 could bring to the table in the Bay area.



<h2>Steve Kerr explains how Chris Paul can help Curry, Warriors </h2>



“He’s so smart. He controls games. He’s thinking three steps ahead all the time. He gets any shot he wants in the mid-range,” Kerr said about Paul, via Robin Lundberg of Sports Illustrated. 



“Our team last year needed another way to attack, and we became a little too one-dimensional with Steph in high ball screens. We needed another playmaker to give us a different look. Chris, as we know, is one of the all-time great pick-and-roll players, and he’ll know how to control the tempo. It’s hugely important, especially in playoff games, to have guys like that and they’re hard to find.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230804#BUS#40995"></div>


It will definitely be interesting to see how Paul settles in his new team after being a rival for so many years. For the first time in years, he will have other teammates who carry the organization’s title aspirations.

After years of struggling, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a> have finally looked like a competitive team last season. Rob Pelinka made the right moves just in time, and the team ended up having a deep playoff run, in which they beat Steve Kerr’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a>.



LeBron James and company took down the Dubs in the Western Conference semifinals, setting up a meeting with the Denver Nuggets to have a shot at the championship. However, they couldn’t stop Nikola Jokic’s side.



Even so, that campaign left many positives for the Lakers. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/austin-reaves">Austin Reaves</a>’ evolution, for instance, has given a lot to talk about around the league as the guard made many admirers, including Kerr.



<h2>Steve Kerr heaps massive praise on Austin Reaves</h2>



“He fits in wherever we put him; that’s the beauty of Austin,” Kerr said. “He’s a connector. He’s a hell of a basketball player. He’s physical, shoots and passes it. Just so poised out there all the time. He’s a guy who enhances any lineup that he plays with. Mainly, it’s just better to have him on your team than to have him on the other team. That’s what I would say about Austin.



“One of the fun things with this endeavor is that you really get to know guys who you’ve competed against and admired, but then you really get to know their games. Just feel, vision, awareness, and understanding of the game. The ball just goes to the right spot, the right cut is made.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230721#BUS#33530"></div>


Reaves is now working under Kerr’s tutelage ahead of the 2023 FIBA World Cup with Team USA, who hopes to win its first championship since 2014. The tournament will take place between August 25 and September 10, with the USA sharing Group C alongside Jordan, Greece, and New Zealand.

The 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup begins on August 25, and the United States Men’s National Basketball Team (USABMNT) is one of the favorites to win the tournament. Although they do not have big names on the roster, the players they have brought to the event should be enough.



The USABMNT will start the group stage in Group C with Jordan, Greece, and New Zealand. They are favorites to advance to the Second Round, where they will be part of another tough group. If they can advance to the Final Round, they will be one of the favorites to win the gold medal.



The last time the USABMNT won the FIBA Basketball World Cup was in 2014. They have only two World Cup titles in the 21st century, but they have won a total of 16 gold medals at the Olympic Games.



<h2>Which NBA Stars recently visited the USABMNT?</h2>



According to a video posted by the NBA on Twitter, the two players who visited the national team were <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-lowry">Kyle Lowry</a>. Paul is a two-time gold medalist with the national team, while Lowry won a gold medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

In general, the USABMNT has not won a major tournament or gold medal since 2021, when they won the Summer Olympics in Tokyo. In 2022, they finished in third place in the FIBA AmeriCup.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> left a lot to be desired last season, but they look ready to come back stronger next year. Mike Dunleavy didn’t waste any second this offseason, making a number of moves that included the arrival of 12x NBA All-Star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a>.



It’s safe to say it was the most unexpected trade in the summer, since the 38-year-old had a rivalry with most of his new teammates, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/chris-paul-breaks-the-silence-on-playing-with-draymond-green-20230724-BUS-34852.html">especially with Draymond Green</a><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/chris-paul-breaks-the-silence-on-playing-with-draymond-green-20230724-BUS-34852.html">.</a> Besides, he had been traded to Washington by Phoenix just a few days before.



One of the biggest storylines for the Dubs heading into next season is how Paul will fit into their plans. Will he start from the bench, or is he making the starting five? Steve Kerr has recently addressed this topic, but we’ll have to wait until training camp to know.



<h2>Steve Kerr says he’ll make a decision on Chris Paul during training camp</h2>



“I think that’ll be a case where you get three weeks of training camp before that first game,” Kerr said, via Tim Bontemps of ESPN. “We’ll just look at all kinds of different combinations.



“The main thing is we know all those guys are going to play a lot of minutes. But the luxury of having Chris Paul to add to this group that we’ve been lucky enough to have for a decade .. pretty remarkable. He is one of the great competitors in the game. He’s one of the great point guards of all time. I think he’s a great addition for us, because of his ability to control games, control tempo, take care of the ball.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230804#BUS#40995"></div>


Paul has been from the get-go in every single NBA game he’s played so far. Many expect that to change this season, since the Warriors already have an established starting five and CP3 could boost the second unit. However, only time will tell.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steve-kerr">Steve Kerr</a> is not only the head coach of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a>, but he is also a guy who has known the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA </a>for a long time. As a player from 1988 to 2003, he won a combined total of 9 rings as a player and head coach.



During his playing days, he played with a former NBA team called the Seattle SuperSonics, who are now known as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oklahoma-city-thunder">Oklahoma City Thunder.</a> However, the SuperSonics are not the only defunct team in the league.



In addition to the relocated teams, other franchises no longer exist and all have disappeared during the last century. These include the Chicago Stags, Indianapolis Olympians, and Providence Steamrollers, among others.



<h2>What did Steve Kerr say about expansion teams?</h2>



In a recent interview with ESPN, Steve Kerr said that the two expansion teams that are supposed to join the NBA in the future would be perfect for the league to open up some Western time slots. This would help the league’s TV schedule.



About two new expansion teams, Las Vegas and Seattle, he said he feels good about the idea. He said, “Obviously it’s not my department, but Vegas and Seattle seem to be such smart franchises. It’s a shame that we ever lost the Sonics in the first place. But as you look forward and you think of what we need, we need a couple of Western time slots. Think about all the doubleheaders on TV you have where the second game is starting at 8:40 central time. We lost a couple of West Coast time slots back when Seattle and Vancouver left the league. It hurt the TV schedule, which hurt the whole league schedule.”



Steve Kerr will be the head coach of the United States national basketball team in the 2023 FIBA ​​tournament that will start on August 25 and end on September 10. The USMBNT are one of the big favorites to win.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Paul </a>is pretty much the opposite of the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Golden State Warriors.</a> His style of play is fairly different from what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry</a> and Steve Kerr have instilled, and they’ve been on opposite sides way too many times already.



The Warriors stood on Paul’s way to a championship multiple times. His teams, especially the Houston Rockets, were a recurring victim of the Dynasty, and they’ve been vocal about their despise for each other.



That’s why some people were worried about their ability to coexist ahead of the upcoming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> season. However, per coach Kerr, it only speaks volumes of their competitive nature.



<h2>Steve Kerr Explains Why Warriors Players Didn’t Like Chris Paul</h2>



“You know, one of the funny things about this league is that you compete against people and especially if you see someone in the playoffs, over and over again like we did with Chris in Houston,” Kerr said. “And then all of a sudden you’re teammates or you’re coaching someone and you laugh at moments like this where, you know, you’re at each other’s throats for much of your career.”



“It reminded me a little bit of when I played. Reggie Miller and I played against each other in college and then the pros as well. I used to hate Reggie. And then we became broadcast partners and became great friends,” Kerr added. “I feel like that’s kind of how it’s going to be with Chris. We’ve all hated him, you know, because we were competing and he was so good. And now that’s our guy and we love him.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230803#BUS#40582"></div>


That’s the beauty and the irony of the game. Now, they will all have to bury the hatchet and get to work together, as they can achieve something special if they put the team first and foremost.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> have thrived with their chaotic and full-motion offense, which is pretty much the opposite of what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Paul </a>does. That’s why some find it tough to believe he can coexist with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry.</a>



Paul seemed to be reluctant to come off the bench for the first time in his career, which is another big concern regarding his ability to adapt and find success with his new team.



With that in mind, coach Steve Kerr revealed that he’s actually met with Paul and Curry to discuss what he wants from the newcomer in order to make another run at an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> championship.



<h2>Steve Kerr Reveals What He Wants From Chris Paul</h2>



“I watched Steph [Curry] and Chris work out together,” Kerr said on NBA Today. “We’ve talked about our team. One of the things I told Chris was, we have to be more controlled this year. Last year, we were number 29 in the league in turnovers, in other words, second worst in the league, but we had the fastest pace in the league. That’s not a great combination. And one of the things I love about Chris is that he controls games. And, so I told him we need his ability to control the game at key times for us and he knows he’s going to adapt to some of the stuff we do. Especially when he’s playing with Steph, throwing the ball ahead, playing with a little more pace.”



“So I kind of like the idea of finding a better balance this year and being more under control, but still being, you know, really lethal offensively,” Kerr said. “And then of course, you know what Chris does in pick and roll and his midrange game, he always gives you a chance in every possession to get a good shot. And he’s, you know, one of the great point guards of all time. So we’re lucky to have him.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230724#BUS#34852"></div>


That still doesn’t shed light on whether he’ll start or come off the bench, but it seems like things are going well, and he’s on board with what his new coach wants and needs from him.

Narratives and rivalries aside, the fact that Paul will play for the Dubs seems kind of surreal. But he’s one of the greatest players of all time, and should be able to adjust as such.



Most people think that the obvious thing to do is to have him back up <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry</a> as their Sixth Man. However, coach Steve Kerr recently stated he doesn’t know how they’ll use him next season.



<h2>Steve Kerr Doesn’t Know If Chris Paul Will Start</h2>



“All of that will happen in training camp,” Kerr told Mercury News. “Until we get everyone on the floor, we won’t be able to assess what’s best for our team and how everything is going to look. But I’m very confident that it’s going to work out”.



“We got great guys and we got great champions, great competitors,” Kerr added. “There’s one goal next year, and that’s to win at the highest possible level. Everything else will unfold as the season does.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230718#BUS#30953"></div>


At the end of the day, the success or failure of this experiment could all rely on whether Paul is willing to embrace a lesser role coming off the bench. Will his ego stand on the way? We’ll have to wait and see.

Steve Kerr is unsure about Chris Paul's role with the Warriors

Steve Kerr’s arrival changed the course of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a>‘ history forever. They became the most feared dynasty in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a>, and one of the greatest teams in the history of the league.



Kerr has now established himself as one of the finest tacticians in the league. He even coached his way up to Team USA and could go down as one of the most successful coaches of all time.



Notably, one of Kerr’s major adjustments was to trust <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green </a>and keep him in the starting lineup even after David Lee was back to full strength. Even so, Green recently admitted that he didn’t actually respect him as a tactician until this year.



<h2>It Took 11 Years For Draymond Green To Respect Steve Kerr</h2>



“I can be 100 percent honest with you, I never understood or respected Steve Kerr’s brilliance as much as I have after this year,” Green said on Patrick Beverley’s podcast. “And I think a large part of it was my immaturity– The more I learned about the game, the more Steve Kerr’s brilliance is so evident to me.”



“This dude, he always knows the right adjustment,” continued Green. “We beat Sacramento (Kings) in this series, we really should’ve lost in Sac–Steph Curry in that Game 7 was obviously great, he is incredible. Nuts. He wasn’t letting us lose.”



“Steph didn’t let us lose Game 7, but Steve got us through every other one of those games with adjustments,” Green added. “He was just making adjustments and then obviously you gotta go play but those adjustments, he got us through that series and then Steph did what he did (in) Game 7 and sent them home.”



“I walk into film and he’s just sitting there, legs crossed, sit back in his chair, leaned back– and he just has a smirk on his face,” Green added. “We just lost the f***ing game and he just sits back there with his legs crossed with a little smirk on his face. I walk in like, ‘What up coach? What up? Coach, I saw this. I watched the film.’ I come in with my notes and s***… And he’s like, ‘Yeah they were doing this, but I got this adjustment.’ Man, he is a mastermind.”



“And I think one other important trait that Steve has is he’s so confident and certain of himself that he ain’t afraid to let one of his guys take the wheel,” continued the power forward. “Whether that’s me, whether that’s something Steph thinks– I’m telling you, man, dude is a mastermind. And it really took me until my 11th year to really be able to understand it.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230720#BUS#32822"></div>






Green and Kerr have now won four NBA championships and one Olympic gold medal, also developing a strong bond in the meantime. Maybe, that’s worthy of a little respect.

That’s why former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> player Eddie Johnson called out the organization as a whole, citing that they failed in the way they dealt with the situation because Poole wasn’t even an adult.



<h2>Eddie Johnson Calls Out Warriors Over Jordan Poole Fiasco</h2>



“He says Jordan Poole is not an adult, then you failed, Steph failed, Klay failed, Steve Kerr failed. Because he’s a young player, it’s a way to approach them. Now Jordan Poole is not an adult; it was on your watch, Draymond,” Johnson said. 



“You didn’t know how to go help him mature. So don’t throw him under the bus because he’s still a young player. It’s just bad leadership,” the former player continued.

He’s got a valid point about that, and that wasn’t a good look for the organization as a whole. Then again, the fact that they decided to move on from him also speaks volumes about how much they valued him — or not, and it’s not like Poole is a child, either.

Getting Austin Reaves locked up for the future was one of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a>‘ main priorities as they entered the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> offseason. While not the biggest name in free agency, he was a great contributor to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James’</a> team.



It didn’t take long before Reaves reached an agreement on a new deal, as no other team even bothered making him an offer, knowing the Lakers would match any sheet he got.



Reaves’ ascent has been so notorious and rapid that even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> coach Steve Kerr recently revealed he had no choice but to pick him to join Team USA in the upcoming FIBA World Cup.



<h2>Steve Kerr Explains Why He Picked Austin Reaves For Team USA</h2>



“For me, after watching him kick our butt for six straight games in the Western Conference Semis, it was a pretty easy choice,” Kerr said. “I think Austin is one of the rising young players in this league.



“What you look for in FIBA is versatility,” the coach continued. “You want size defensively, the ability to switch and guard multiple positions, and then you want playmaking. You want guys who can make shots but also put the ball on the floor and are good passers. Austin is just, to me, he’s a basketball player. He’s a guy who impacts winning at a really high level.”



“His story is pretty amazing given that he was undrafted two years ago,” Kerr continued. “And now, here he is, playing for Team USA and being one of the Lakers’ top-three players, but it’s not an accident. This guy can play, and we have no doubt that he’s going to make a big impact for our team in the Philippines.”

That experience could significantly boost Reaves’ development, both as a player and a leader. Then, his contract could be one of the biggest bargains in recent NBA history.
