    They need to look for him more or let him handle the ball up top more whenever possible. Yet his minutes will go down when Nunn is finally available. I would guess though if he stays healthy that Frank will be playing him 25-30 a game by the time the playoffs come.

    sample too small; plus, we may let him walk so that we can bring in some old guy who lebron and AD think is fun to hang out with.

    Just whiling away the time between too sparse of minutes and handling the ball appearances from the kid ... trying to convince myself/ourselves he's all that. Highlight reels can make anyone look good. YMMV. :D ;)

    Austin Reeves is a better player than Russell Westbrook. Change my mind.

    The right play. Every. Single. Possession.

    Being the hardest worker on the court + high basketball IQ will take you far.

    This kid is a stud. We may have to bench Russ and start him at PG. Reaves and Monk in the backcourt can work. Right now its gonna create mass hysteria in the lockerroom but it is necessary if the Lakers want to improve, they need to swap Russ and Reaves

    He and Monk are my only bright spots right now. Another great game from the rookie.

    Reaves and Monk are the bright spots this season.

    He made a beautiful post pass to Lebron that went unnoticed, Lebron didn't finish it, but this kid is more than a shooter.
