    This kid’s going to be good when he learns how to shoot. Errrrr when he remembers how to shoot. ;) Has the 2 man game going both ways with LeBron. The Eagle would approve. Could have been a ménage a trois. :giggle:

    That was a great tap out rebound by Russ to get the ball to Reaves for the pass too.

    I hope Reaves will get to play with more unselfish players who want to play defense and having less isolation ball on offense some day

    is it true his teammates chipped in and got him a membership at a tanning salon? Asking for a friend.

    he's made a handful of passes this year that i don't think more than 10-20 guys in the league can make. and this wasn't even a billed skill of his, iirc. he was supposed to be a scorer, which he can do to some extent. but his team (and individual) defense and passing have just been fantastic.

    Reaves is smart and always in the right place, making the right play. If the rest of the team played even half as hard as he does we would have a much better record. Love the kid and looking forward to his development next year.

    If he can improve his 3 ball this summer, he'll start on a playoff team until he retires.

    i think he will, too. as he adds strength, he'll become a reliable shooter from deep, imo.
