Austin Reaves Discussion: Will He Stay Or Will He Go?

It’s Edwards or nothing… he needs to get out of that cold place, take less money until he can get his max

 

Yeah BI is nice but am I the only one not all that impressed with where he’s at now 4 years later watching him in these games? I can see AR being chosen for closing over Brunson who’s a lot shorter and could be hunted but also BI’s defense …. has it really been all that great? And he’s hit and miss with the offense still. Body filling out nicely though.

 

Yeah I'm becoming an Ant fan. He's mindset is elite. No franchise is winning paying a max to Rudy, not to talk about KAT's issue. He and Ant don't seem to click so the Wolves will need to choose.
I think he will link up with Hali though. Indiana has a bunch of youngsters who may be good trade assets. Hali is top10 of the league right now, I think Indiana will be fire this season (have a Sac-like type of season for an early exit against Miami after being 3 seed)

 

So many questions ….. where’s the rundown on his game today? On vacation all I know about the game is he got loudest cheers and had 8 points at the half thanks to Kareem. And that we set crappy screens.

Austin scored 12 points and got 6 assists,more than any "real "PG on this team.And was +19.
And Ingram sucked again he scored only 2 points in 15 minutes.

 

ingram's offensive game is ill-suited for international play, i think.

 

Reaves out there advertising that Laker brand to Ant, Bridges and the rest…

 

For real. Hard working, smart, very good Lakers player > a superstar from Hicksville or some other Detroit in international fans eyes

 

I see no lies

 

Proof that fundamentals will take you far...

 

Reaves is playing some incredibly efficient Ball for Team USA...!!

 

Just like he's playing for the Lakers... who could have predicted that

 

And the legend was born

 

Austin makes us a dangerous team because he can do anything asked of him. We need more points from him no problem, play the point sure, be a hounding defender and an antagonist you got it. If he wasn't such a team first player, he could easily be averaging 20 points a game. Especially if he got the ball passed to him a bit more when he is open. He knows he is good and isn't in awe of anyone. That is one of the best things about him. He doesn't wilt under the Laker, Lebron light. For the regular season he might end up being our second most important player letting Lebron coast a little more till the playoffs start. Those that are scared to believe can quit being scared.
