    What a shot, overtime rainbow game winner. Love this kid, so much heart, and if that shot is falling, man watch out. Said it I think in game time recently, he’s 23, he was in college 5 years, he’s not some rookie that needs to be brought along slow, he’s ready now, it’s why you draft a player like him.

    Hopefully Vogel remembers this game. I had to break out some KISS tunes for the OT session.

    BTW he’s not all that vertically challenged if he can jump off 2 feet. There was a rebound late in the 3rd or early 4th that he went up for in front of the FT line that I replayed frame by frame and at the top it did look like 36” may a tad higher or lower. That’s where he was in the combine. Can’t get up like AC off one leg I think but damn look at all he does on offense on top of ever improving D. Another one of those bullet left handed roundhouse passes on the money.

    hahahaha, stop with the Caruso comps. They are completely different players. Stop being so white on white infatuation. It's racists and it hurts.

    Touched zero rim, just beautiful. And man, passes like this, dude just has a natural feel for the game



    Another angle and the radio call from Trudell as well





    Crazy he went undrafted

    Game winner, boom!!! As I’ve said a bunch of times this season, I love this kid. He’s just got it. Instincts, D, hustle, makes plays for others, knocks down the open looks. He was sensational tonight. 5 of 6 from three! Holy smokes!

    Reaves is just so poised. He does not play like a rookie!

    Guys a freakin' killer out there, he's had that look on his face long before this game. To me it looks like he enjoys the intensity when the game ramps up. Seeing him put it together with a big opportunity is just the best.

    Hit FIVE threes tonight and only missed one.
    His defensive intensity was excellent yet again.
