Austin Reaves Discussion: How Much Is He Worth?

He Still isn’t using the tanning bed I sent him SMH

 

He must have at least 4 great moves to the rim that rimmed out or didn’t go down. Easily could have been over 40. Some of those moves …. crazy …. keeps breaking out stuff in real time that we haven’t seen.

 

All the angst about him handling pressure on ball of course has some merit. But he’s aware he has to get better and better at it ….. and look what has been unlocked when all doubt about who is the primary PG or whatever you want to call him is gone and as Pioneer says he’s effectively been given the keys to run the offense. It’s what he’s done his whole life in basketball and wants to do. Clearly he’s capable of playing at this higher level and keeps adding to his game. I pushed back last year at “career cappers” stating he was basically then at his peak and all he was ever going to be. Look at the sheer uptick at attacking the basket to score or dish out in so many ways and his elite upper per centile in the entire league scoring at the rim.

 

Beasted last night.
Too bad it was wasted against a far superior team.

 

No flowers at all? Tough crowd.

 

We don’t give average players special attention just because they are white SMH

 

We don't? Rambii would like a word.

 

We gave him attention when Frankenstein McHale clotheslined him. That was enough for Clark Kent.

 

This AR is what we have been waiting for. He elevates our team to a new level playing like this, looking forward to more of it and seeing if it's sustainable

 

Man, this guy would still make awful teams fun to watch all by HIMself.
Just finished the Portland game.

 

I fear we will wear him out again if the main point guard duty continues…just wasn’t made to pound the ball all the way down court, his shooting touch gets affected, glad Max gives him some relief sometimes bringing the ball down well barely

 

Is his arm ok? f***ing sucked to see him grab his arm on a literal meaningless play

 

Unless he has brittle bones or joints it looked like a just stinger from Daniels thieving hands, that was a foul btw

 

HIM’s definitely fun to watch.

 

I’ve noticed that Cam is decent at bringing the ball up as well. He usually doesn’t get into trouble until he tries to drive the lane.

 

Max too is taking it up randomly.

 

AR is averaging 18/6/4. Unbelievable value for 13 million a year.
