NBA:
If Reaves improves defensively, how could that shift the Lakers’ rotation and his fantasy ceiling in 2025-26?
Qwiket AI:
Defensive improvement would justify heavier minutes and more two-way responsibilities for Reaves, potentially raising his scoring efficiency and opportunities in clutch minutes. With Smart and James providing guard defense, Reaves could focus on boosting his shooting efficiency, route to increased assist totals, and more stable playing time. This would lift his fantasy ceiling from a solid contributor to a high-end two-way jewel, especially in points-plus-collections leagues.
