On this week's episode of 'The Young Man and the Three' we welcome Austin Reaves of the Los Angeles Lakers and Duncan Robinson of the Miami Heat. Austin and Duncan had an amazing convo. They start of the episode discussing what JJ Redick is like as coach of the Lakers and Austin’s unique relationship with him, and the important of forming relationships with your teammates and coaches outside of basketball. Austin then shares what it’s like being a huge part of an opponents’ scouting reporting now compared to earlier in the year and his approach to the game. He also opens up about his relationship with LeBron James and how LeBron’s trust in him as a player has grown. Duncan and Austin then discuss the NBA Draft process, their experiences as ‘older’ players draft, and why players like themselves and Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht always seem to get overlooked. They also each share their routines while on the road and on game days, as well as address the current three-point narrative around the league. To close out the episode, Tommy and Austin shares their thoughts on the latest update to the NBA 2k25 ratings. Let’s go!
