As time has moved along, Austin Reaves has continued to improve and develop, and sometimes it seems as if an All-Star game selection could someday be in the cards for him.

At the very least, he has given the Los Angeles Lakers what seems to be a legitimate big three alongside LeBron James and Luka Doncic. While the jury is still out on whether he's the NBA's best third option, he's averaging 19.6 points and 6.0 assists a game this season, and he has put up 22.5 points per game since the start of February.

While he still may not be a natural point guard, his ball-handling skills have improved, and the behind-the-back dribble he uses to get past defenders is starting to become his trademark move.
