Austin Reaves Discussion: How Much Is He Worth?

I had mentioned toward the end of last season trading AR. But, I'm on the bandwagon now. Love that dude. Definitely a keeper. Laravia, Smart, and Ayton have shown to be good offseason upgrades too. I'm really starting to dig this team. AR needs to stay long term.

 

That's such weak s*** haven't you got enough humility to get excited he IS this good now regardless of what happens and enjoy the ride. Instead of jonzing for some wet dream of a more perfect player, as they ALL have flaws. Enjoy the ride. Or is it you do, and just have to play the cynic on LB?

 

It seems to me AR has learned from Luka, in addition to his own deep offensive repertoire, how to not have to work at pedal to the metal speed as much. At times he looks like Luka out there relaxed, probing and changing directions at different speeds confident he has control of the ball. Getting where he wants to go and distributing the hell out of the ball as well as scoring it in elite ways. The added strength helps.
