De'Aaron Fox is a better basketball player than Austin Reaves. We can get that part out of the way from the start. There is no real statistical argument otherwise. Even the most optimistic projections of Reaves' increasingly bright future have to acknowledge that Fox has physical gifts that he simply does not.

There’s a surprising Austin Reaves’ reason why the Lakers are not interested in trading for Sacramento Kings star point guard De’Aron Fox. Los Angeles’ divisional rival set the NBA world on fire when they announced they were open to trade talks for Fox.

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly going after a superstar guard on the trade market who wants out of his current situation.
