Austin Reaves Discussion: Foundation Piece Or Trade Piece?

Wow, is that a whole lotta awful!

 

Austin Nash.

 

Best he's looked in a back to back.

That heave was something else.

 

He still is HIM.

 

pop was going after him and dlo on defense. reaves finally did make a reasonable stop against keldon johnson when they tried to clear out a side, but this is an ongoing concern.

he made a couple shots to stop runs that were important. SA still ended up gaining confidence and almost winning it, but they probably catch us earlier and actually win it if reaves didn't keep them at bay.

 

Should be a good listen tomorrow

 

At least there's this

 

Arenas and Sharpe on this again

 

And ..... his handle has slowly and steadily been getting better and more advanced. Sure, still some turnovers off of it but that happens to every "pure" PG. Point is his handle IS improving. The better it gets, the less TOs because of the handles. He drives the key and breaks it down for dishes or gets all the way to the rim often enough to be a threat to get there, or pulls up for buckets and/or fouls with a variety of moves, footwork and shots. Always a threat from deep. Over 42% I think these last 8-9 games.

 

like ginobili, he can start or play off the bench, which is great. i want him out there for about 30mpg (i'll duck tomatoes by agreeing with ham that in big minutes, he looks worse), and i want him closing games.

 

did you forget about the playoffs last year?

 

Not even one comment Austin …. OK I will. That behind the back fast break layup was BEYOND sick and the Mamba himself would have approved how dazzlingly perfectly “executed” it was.



It blew Bron and AD’s mind you were right in front of. After picking their jaws up they headed into the tunnel to replay it physically themselves in homage.
