Austin Reaves has really stepped up over the offseason, and his teammates, like Collin Sexton, are starting to notice.Luka Doncic is the natural leader of the team following LeBron James departure, but Reaves will be big part of the leadership group also.And hes doing his part already, new recruit Sexton says.Each and every day when hes in the gym, hes ready to work. No complaints out of him. Hes one of the leaders on the team and he comes in with the attitude of pushing each other, but also allowing players to push him, Sexton said on the Lakers X account. So, its fun to be around him and his competitive nature has been cool too. Thats his one thing, he impacts winning and he impacts the game in so many different ways. I definitely look forward to playing with him just being out there on the court with him, hes a scorer, a passer and being able to play with someone thats very unselfish but also can score the ball as well.Sexton has been making some improvements of his own over the summer, specifically his on his shooting.I would say being efficient is something that I can control, Sexton said during a recently media availability. Trying to shoot the right shots, make the right plays. Read the game. If the game says shoot, shoot. If the game says pass, pass. I feel like at the end of the day this whole summer, thats all Ive been focusing on is making things a little bit simpler. Reading closeouts. Reading if theyre back, let it fly and having confidence to continue to shoot.I feel like that was something that was a huge knock on me coming into the league was, Can he shoot? I feel like Ive been able to just continue to prove. And I know I have a lot more growth to get there just percentage-wise and attempts-wise, but I feel like I can shoot the ball pretty well. So I think those things allow me to be efficient and its all about a mindset.READ MORE: Lakers New Owners Have Their Eyes on a $30 Billion Valuation
