    Seems Bridges and Reaves get along well so who knows? Bridges being subliminally recruited to the P&G down the road?

    It's so awesome, to buck the probable pejoratives against Reaves amongst many other players who likely see him with the unathletic white guy stereotypes and assume it's just a lot of hype because he's a Laker, and even maybe for the "quota" thing ..... that all these respected players on their own teams can go back and say, "Nah man he's got serious game and he's a really good dude and team player."

    I have no idea- that’s all on the character team! If I had the power to call them out on it and get it changed, I would.

    Note ^^^ the same spot ^^^ on floor of their right feet behind the line. Bridges always listed at 6'6", Reaves at 6'5". Dudes are basically the same height. I know some sites list Austin at 6'5 3/4". Definitely he looks bigger than 6'5' on the floor and plays bigger.

    i was noticing that they were closer in size than i thought. bridges has the freakish wingspan, though, 7+ right?

    yeah, i always look at wingspan, standing reach, and weight when i think about "positional size". you don't play with the top of your head, and having a long neck or large head isn't an advantage in basketball.

    interestingly, reaves has a higher listed standing reach (8'5") than bridges, which...doesn't compute for me (bridges's reach is listed at 8'4", but should probably be closer to 8'9", i think).

    Austin is coming for the 1 not only in actions but words. He wants to be the point and should be.
