Will you be selected as an All-Star in the future? Reeves averaged 20+ games in the regular season, becoming the third undraft in active service

Basketball

NBA has entered the offseason and the free market will soon open. Reeves has two years of contract and can renew his contract early this summer. The Lakers also offered him a four-year maximum salary of 89.2 million yuan, but Reeves refused. The reason why Reeves rejected the Lakers' contract extension is not that he does not want to renew the contract with the Lakers, but that he believes that with his strength, he can get a larger contract, so he is planning to renew the contract with the Lakers next summer, and the contract he can get will double or even higher.

Judging from his performance this season, Reeves does have this strength and confidence. This season, with the two superstars James and Doncic, Reeves still played very well, averaging 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, with shooting percentages of 46%, 38%, and 88% respectively. Reeves' performance like this is completely the Big Three, as is James and Doncic.

As a player who was born in a undraft, Reeves was able to play nearly 20+5+6 per game, which is indeed very impressive. There are few such players in history. Just from the data point of view, it is not a problem to be selected as an All-Star player who can play 20+5+5 per game. Moreover, Reeves is still in a giant team like the Lakers and has received very high attention, but the competition for the Western Conference All-Star backcourt is very fierce, and it is not easy for Reeves to be selected as the All-Star. There are only a handful of undrafts who can be selected into the All-Star in history, including Starks, Brad Miller, Ben Wallace, Van Villet, etc.

There are not many undrafts who can average 20+ games in history, and only three players have done it in active service, the other two are Van Vreet and Wood. Van Vreet averaged 20+ per game in 2022 and was also selected as the All-Star. In addition, Van Vreet averaged very close to 20 points in 2021 and 2023.

Van Vreett was not only selected as the All-Star, but also helped the Raptors win the championship in 2019 and became a champion defender. Later, Van Vreet also earned more than $40 million in annual salary from the Rockets, and signed a two-year, $50 million contract extension with the Rockets this summer, which can be said to be the big winner in the undraft. In 2021, Wood, who was also a undrafted player, played his best season in his career with the Rockets, averaging 21 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, but he only played 41 games in total. It is also worth mentioning that Mike James averaged 20.3 points per game in the 2005-06 season, and he was also a undrafted.
