Is there anything Austin Reaves of the Los Angeles Lakers can’t do?
The young star is already a fan favorite of the team, had a wonderful postseason, and even participated in the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
Apparently, that’s not enough for Reaves, who recently showed off his talents in another sport: golf.
In a video captured by his teammate D’Angelo Russell, via ClutchPoints, Reaves was at a golf range practicing shots when he attempted a wild move with his club in his left hand.
With total ease, Reaves sent the ball sailing far into the distance.

Reaves makes it all look so easy.
Last season, the 25-year-old had a huge, breakout season with the Lakers.
He averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in the regular season and then exploded with even more production in the playoffs.
During that strong run by the team, he put up 16.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists with a field goal percentage of 46.4% and a three-point percentage of 44.3%.
Reaves started in all 16 postseason games and that is a role he is going to continue in the new season.
After just two years with the team, he has easily earned his spot as one of the starting players for the Lakers.
In the summer, LA signed Reaves to a new deal that will keep him wearing purple and gold for the foreseeable future.
There were other teams that had their eyes on Reaves and were looking to offer him a good contract.
But the Lakers are committed to Reaves and were willing to meet the demands of any other team.
They know what many fans do: Reaves is now a very important part of the team.
