She offered words of advice to him as he took his first steps as a professional."Opportunity. You’ve got to maximize it because you don’t get these opportunities twice," Reese told reporters. "I told him to show up first and make sure you’re at the front of the line for drills.""He doesn’t have the opportunity to slack off," she added. "He has to maximize it and really push through and really show his all, because it’s now or never. I think he has a really great opportunity, especially with the Lakers and what they need in the frontcourt."Julian Reese signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Lakers for the NBA Summer League following the 2025 NBA draft. He finished his college career at Maryland with 1,488 points and 1,015 rebounds, placing him among just two Terrapins ever to hit 1,000 in both categories.Though he didn’t hear his name called on draft night, his performance earned him a Summer League stint and a shot at securing a two-way contract or training camp invite.
