Maryland s senior striker will represent the Lakers in the summer league. His sister is the leading actress in the WNBA?

The University of Maryland officially announced on social media that Julian Reese, a senior player from the team, reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers. Reese received a summer league contract from the Lakers, and he will also represent the Lakers in the next NBA summer league. It is worth mentioning that Julian Reese is the younger brother of WNBA player Angel Reese.

Rees was born in June 2003 and is about to turn 22 years old. He is 206cm tall and weighs 104kg. He is a forward player with excellent physical talent, good athletic ability and excellent defensive ability. In the NCAA field this season, Rees played 36 games, averaging 28.5 minutes per game, with averaging 13.3 points, 9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.5 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 55.5%, 0% of three-point shooting percentage and 73.4% of free throw shooting percentage. Reese's performance this season has also been recognized by everyone, and he has also won votes from some media and coaches in the Best Team selection.

From the perspective of characteristics, Rees is an inside swinger with excellent physical talent and excellent athletic ability. Reese has good scoring ability at the basket on the offensive end. On the defensive end, Rees has a very comprehensive ability. He has a large defensive coverage area. His personal defensive ability is quite good. His defensive aggressiveness is also very outstanding. His role in rebound protection is also very obvious. He even has a certain ability to protect the basket. He can be regarded as an all-round inside defender. However, Rees' improvement in the past few seasons is indeed relatively limited. His performance this season has not only not improved compared to last season, but has even shown some regression. In addition, he is already a mature player in the senior year, his potential and his future development may be relatively limited. Although Rees may not have made enough progress this season and his future development is worrying, his performance this season is obvious to all. In the undraft, Reese's ability is actually remarkable, and he is also very malleable on the defensive end and has the opportunity to become an excellent defender. For the Lakers, signing him with a summer league contract is not risky. They can also use the summer league to test his personal abilities and give him more opportunities to prove his abilities. If Rees can show more personal abilities on the offensive end, his role on the court will be further reflected. If Reese can play enough competitively in the summer league, he will also have the opportunity to get a training camp contract with Exhibit 10 from the Lakers and participate in the training camp and preseason for the Lakers. Even if Rees cannot get the opportunity to stay with the Lakers in the new season, at least he will have the opportunity to join the Lakers' NBA Development League team, the South Bay Lakers, which will be very helpful for his career development and his future entry into the NBA. Next, let’s see how he will perform in the summer league.
