Austin Reaves Discussion: Still Want To Trade HIM?

"He'd make a great 6th man off the bench"?

 

He's not gonna get an All Star nod because fans are morons, but ... he is one, production wise. And he is a superstar :lol: if normalized for contract.

 

Hey, if AR was the 12th man, towards the end of the bench, he would be the best 12th man EVERRRR!!!!

So, that's a logical reason to use him there!!

I'm running for office, vote for me!!!

 

What kind of office?

 

DAOTUS: Dumb Arse of the United States!!

 

Hillbillies can’t be getting tossed if you are the glue.

 

He’s been disappointing since the career high

 

You keep saying that

 

This loss is on AR. Can't be getting tossed when you are this important. This team needs him to close the games even if he is laying bricks early on.

 

He's going through the biggest adjustment with Luka coming in, it's noticeable. If you watch the first 6 minutes, he barely touched the ball and it definitely frustrated him. Then the shot wasn't falling, he started trying too much and the frustration built up, leading to that outburst with the official (although it was indeed a foul).

It's part of the process and with time he'll adjust. We don't have a 4th organizer/shot creator so he still plays a huge role. There's also a stint in each half where Bron and Luka rest together, at least for now, which he needs to capitalize.
He has been the one asked to adjust the most this season. Started the season with DLo, asked to be the POA defender and share the rock with DLo, then DLo started playing more off ball and from the bench and he became the main initiator, then we traded DLo and he was the main/only PG. Now Luka. It's not easy to adapt to so many different roles but he's doing a great job. I fully trust AR to be in his best version again in around one month

He needs to be the main target after Luka gets double which he does a lot. AR is elite attacking scrambling defenses because he shoots, attacks the basket and passes with great quality. It will take some time for the team to adjust to Luka too and maximize this type of scenarios that we weren't so used to.
