Scott was full of praise for Reeves in an interview with Essentially Sports. Scott said that Kobe has always put professionalism first, and he saw the same desire and hard work in Reeves.

Scott said: "Reeves is one of the best players at this position in the league. This goes back to the first point, believe in yourself, and the second is work attitude. He can put in the effort and has enough trust and confidence in himself. I believe that through the process, he will be fine."
