Austin Reaves Discussion: Still Want To Trade HIM?

Didn’t like some of the turnovers. Over dribbles once in a while and forces something that is obvi and isn’t there for him.
Overall though, very pleased with AR.

 

yeah, when people have been saying russell wasn't worth 4/100 (or more), i kept thinking about poole. i imagine that's where russell's agent has pegged his value (and it makes sense). and poole's not exactly killing it here...

anyway, reaves thread: he cooled off a little after the insane finish to game 1 but still looks like a veteran out there already.

 

..... and another superb driving to the rim and behind the back pass .... this time to Vanderbilt in the corner for a 3.

 

i love him. laker for life if it's up to me!

 

Seeing this thread title is reminding me of Snoop Dogg. "he is I and I am him"

 

Are we all in agreement Austin has massive amounts of “IT”?

 

in that, from a distance, you'd think he might work in IT?

 

He will be a Laker for Life.

I have spoken.

 

Would be hilarious if a camera happened to catch his bare back in the locker room and instead of this clean, no tats farm boy ….. he had a massive HIM on his back.

 

You mean something as loud as Affleck's back tatt?...

 

Yeah or Bron’s The Chosen One.

 

Big series for Austin...Wiggins and Thompson are good defenders, he needs to be careful with the loose handles. Poole can score too..he won't have many easy nights. I'm looking for the next step up from Austin, it might take him a minute to find his bearings though.

 

Klay isn't good anymore on D , Austin should go at him and try to get him in foul trouble

 

agree. klay's offense hasn't dropped off much, but his defense has, imo. he's closer to someone you have to hide now. gs can only put one of them on vando (guessing that's klay's assignment). i bet reaves draws wiggins, though. but hey, at least that means wiggins can't be sagging to help all possession long.

 

Don't you think they're going to start Draymond on Vando so he can help everywhere ?
