Austin Reaves Discussion: Foundation Piece Or Trade Piece?

I'm expecting Austin to just keep getting better and better. I like how he isn't afraid to speak up about looking forward to busting up the Nugget's ring ceremony. Big leap last year despite Ham's complete stubbornness to play him the minutes he clearly earned. Hindsight isn't even needed to know he should have been playing more right from the start of the season. With AD putting in the off-season work and coming into camp in shape and Austin playing all-star level ball we should start strong and finish stronger.

 

Austin needs to be more selfish on offense this year.

 

Me freaking too

 

Good thing we have Austin to offset the Dame and Jrue movement. To me, Jrue to Boston is more concerning than Dame to the Bucks. We still kick their a..

 

Not really, been told this is one of my best looks!

 

NSFW: DLO's Language

 

I have no idea of what DLO said there and probably could not be picked up at work either .... but that shot with the lefty club HOLY F***!!!!

 

I love that when asked recently Austin said he thought his golf game would beat anyone in the NBA. Kid has sooo much confidence and is such a competitor. Would love to see a big money charity event between him and Curry. Both are scratch golfers. Don't know if anyone else in the league is at that level?



I like AR's swing even better ... more fluid and he's a bigger dude and just crushes it.



Booker



DLO

 

Much more aggressive with his O. I loved his pullup 3's.

He's gonna have a huge year.

 

might as well rest him till the last preseason game: he's had plenty of action already and guys can wear out playing international ball

 

4 out of 6 from 3 if you need it.

 

72% FG, 67% 3PT, 100% FT, 18/2/2 in 20 minutes. LOL

And he wasn't hogging it either. Just was a bit more aggressive.

So, extrapolating... 24/4/4 in 30 minutes should be a cakewalk.

Without looking it up, Imma guess there were 10 players last season who did that. All making 5 times his salary.

EDIT: went to check. There were 16.

Embiid, Luka, Dame, SGA, Freak, Tatum, Mitchel, Irving, Ja, Randle, Fox, LaVine, Ant, DDR, Joker, Siakam


Also shoutout to @Weezy with the random stat combo of the day.

 

The shootout with Thomas was fun.


Same zero hesitation he showed off with Team USA. Watch out league.



Giving AR's tiktok some free press. Closest duo after Bron and AD?



Speaks about DLO around the 1:30 mark.

 

Too soon for get a room you guys? LOL I LOVE IT!!
