Austin Reaves Discussion: Hot N Cold

They are also not biting on his little pump fake in the lane. They know he doesn't have the athleticism to finish well and are taking away his strengths. He will have to make the necessary adjustments.

 

He will be just fine- just a bit of a slump. Even the best go through them.

 

i'm not worried about him. he's smart and skilled and will find ways to make a positive impact.

 

Great bounce back game by the kid!
Now he needs to practice a floater in the lane so he doesn’t always have to rely on pivoting down there so much.

 

Ham has amnesia when it comes to productive players

 

he has a pretty nice floater. he needs to learn when to seek contact and when to just take it, and that will come with experience.

 

Am surprised to the tone of that ….”a” floater in the lane as opposed to “his” floater in the lane (needing more practice). Not picking a fight. Just sounded like you’d not seen the many he’s shot. They were going in earlier in the year.

 

Should be a starter

 

Guess I’ve forgotten about it because lately, he’s been defaulting to the carousel of pivoting and head fakes.

 

….. maybe “many” was overstating it but 5 or 6 at least.

 

Still not getting his normal lift though and it’s affecting his shot.

 

let’s go top 5

 

He may be able to play, but his ankle could still be bothering him.
