Austin Reaves Discussion: Foundation Piece Or Trade Piece?

Tyrese Haliburton, "he's sneaky athletic".

And he is!

 

If he’s not, there will be rioting!!!

 

He’s got a front office job waiting for him after his playing days

 

I think if he had bigger hands he would one hand jam the ball. Must just want the safer score with two, and doesn’t like or trust cupping the ball. He certainly gets up high enough to do it.

 

That’s awesome. What’s a TravisMatthew?

 

Clothing line?

 

HIM golf balls? HIM golf clubs? HIM underwear not binding HIM when swinging golf clubs?

had to google. and yes, weezy is correct--only in la.

 

The Machine! Turnover Machine

 

He’s getting better defensively!
Great work on D tonight Austin!

 

Austin is fast and very solid handling the ball and scoring on his break aways up court to the rim.

 

The size and physicality of the Clipps guards and forwards often bother him, they've targeted him in the past. He was game for it in this one. Not only was he getting stops, but was turning them over and creating fast break offense out of it.

 

look at one-trick tyronn there...my iso on reaves magic...where has it gone? got some trash to talk today, tyronn?

 

LOL … perfect freeze frame on Lue at the end to punctuate your take.

 

Good. Teams definitely try to pick on him.

 

I think it's telling that Ham left him in the last possession and kept Prince and Dlo on the bench.
This team has elite strengths - maybe the best C/PF combination in the league, a lot of offensive firepower from the guards, decent bench but the holes of POA defense and lack of rebounding are just so bad.

Vando and Cam just so critical as it allows a guy like Reaves to slide down a notch and he's much better as a secondary defender

 

He was never bad defensively. People forget him locking Klay and Booker up last season. Something was not right.

My guess is always Pimple, but may be there was something else.
