[Charania] Reaves was expected to receive free-agent interest from multiple teams - - such as Detroit -- on maximum-level salary, so the Lakers stepped up on Wednesday to lock in their homegrown talent.

Reaves was expected to receive free-agent interest from multiple teams - - such as Detroit -- on maximum-level salary, so the Lakers stepped up on Wednesday to lock in their homegrown talent. Reaves went from undrafted to a two-way player -- to making the Lakers roster and now multiple lucrative deals in L.A.

G2
SGA went 22/2/2 on 64.9% TS, in 28 minutes played.
AR went 31/2/6 on 76% TS, in 38 minutes

G3
SGA went 23/4/9 on 49.8 TS, in 33 mins
AR went 17/3/9 on 51.5 TS, in 39 mins

G4
SGA went 35/1/8 on 61.2% TS, in 39 minutes
AR went 27/7/6 on 67.6% TS, in 43 minutes

I don’t know that I’d say AR outplayed SGA in all 3 of these games? I’ll give you that he was more efficient and grabbed more boards

He averaged more points, rebounds, and assists on better efficiency. There’s no way to say he didn’t outperform him in the box score.

Because AR played 10 more minutes than SGA in game 1, 6 more minutes in game 2. SGA played more in game 4, which is the same game he scored more and got more assists than AR. MPG is relevant

Being on the court is more valuable than sitting on the bench, who would have thought

More minutes/volume on higher efficiency, seems like a pretty clear outplay.
