NBA:
From a fantasy-basketball vantage point, what is the most likely path for Reaves’ value if the Lakers don’t elevate his defense to championship-caliber levels?
Qwiket AI:
Absent defensive growth, Reaves could remain a strong volume scorer and playmaker with fluctuating efficiency, making him a solid but potentially volatile asset. LA might still spread touches, but the ceiling would be capped if his defense keeps opponents from punishing him in rotations. In such a scenario, Reaves could become a trade candidate if the Lakers seek a more defensive lineup to support Dončić-led opponents.
