Austin Reaves Discussion: How Much Is He Worth?

easy there, big fella.

he's better at the same stage of development, but that doesn't mean he'll develop at the same trajectory.

 

Blasphemy!!!

But we can always hope! Caruso will be missed. Baller.

 

Plus AC stronger and more athletic for both sides of the ball including more vert and isn’t done himself getting better. His stats and advanced ratings this year would be fun to follow if they weren’t such a bummer for the reality of what we should still have on the Lakers.

 

Good assessment.

 

.... thanks

 

He might not be as good defensively or as smart as Caruso but he'll be the better shooter for sure.

 

Better handles also by far coming out and will only get better, can get to where he wants on the floor also incorporating change of pace, and a better passer coming out, with equally great court awareness, similar to AC.

 

nowhere near the athlete caruso is (i think people really underestimate this aspect of caruso because of his appearance), but more skilled with the ball. apples to oranges, really, despite the fact that they're both 6'5" white guys from non-powerhouse programs.

both high hoop iq players, though, which i obviously love.

 

The only thing he is better than the Bald Eagle is the hairline

 

That is some excellent information! Do you have any data on what the average NBA three-point field goal oercentage from pull up and for catch and shoot? Also, who are the league leaders in these categories?

 

Baby Eagle / GOAT in the making. New plan developing in practice. HbK will start the season at the 2 and be the secondary playmaker (not Bron) when Russ doesn't have the ball in his hands and LeBron will handle the corner 3s. What's that? You don't believe? Watch the vid.... skeptics.

Should have played Austin.

 

I think we need to give him playing time.

 

How on earth he doesn't play? Bad call

 

weird that avery got in and not reaves. i'm not going to riot about it, but i didn't expect that.

Experience. I don't blame him for not putting the kid in a position where he's going to fail in his first NBA game. Curry and the Splash step brother would have smoked him. Those opening night lights are bright and against a well oiled GS machine, not worth the risk of killing his confidence.
