Skip tweeted about Reeves: "Austin Reeves, who was once an undrafted player, is now a star (is a STAR), but he is willing to share the ball with James and Doncic in the backcourt. In this campaign, he scored 51 points in just 22 shots, and had 11 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals, and only made 2 turnovers. He staged a legendary battle that will go down in history."
