What the NBA Community Really Thinks Of Austin Reaves!
Austin Reaves has been nothing short of a phenom this year for the Lakers. When the team needed him the most, riddled with injuries and bad vibes, Reaves stepped up and kept the team’s playoff hopes alive, especially during the game against the Orlando Magic. He is having a career year, which includes dropping new career highs which has caused his popularity to sky rocket. Former players, current ballers, talk show hosts, and NBA pundits have nothing but good things to say about this undrafted legend, but there are a few who seem not too impressed by AR-15’s electric play. Either way, Reaves has had the basketball community talking about him for a good part of the season and he shows no signs of slowing down.

Comparable to Steve Nash or nah?

@Tehui1974 Год назад

@@K_Kealoha He's a different player to Nash. Ginobli is a closer comparison. However, when I see Reaves get a defender in the wrong position, he has a James Harden like tendency to either draw fouls or put up floaters.

Rasahd McCants was the 1st round 14th pick and by all measure one of the biggest flop of his class. Cut after 5 years and forgotten about. Had one average year out of 5. Rest was terrible with dogwater shooting percentage and production. Low basketball IQ was a common criticism and it seems it hasn’t changed. He was cut from teams in summer camp not once, not twice, but three times. His attitude was a big problem in college when he compared the opportunity for higher education to a prison. He shows up, whine about getting hurt and gets cut in NBA. He still hasn’t realized that his behavior and his thoughts are a big part of why his career is so terrible.

@mikewatts867 Год назад

So I get how the “white guy with skills on the Lakers” thing is a thing. People get a kick out of that. McClung, Caruso for sure, now Reaves. And honestly when you watch him, he looks like a D-2 or D-3 college player, just on appearance. But at some point you have to respect what he is actually doing, how he’s impacting the game. It’s intangible, it seems borderline silly, but it’s real and I honestly don’t think the Lakers would be where they are now this season, up 3-1 against the 2 sees, without him.

@mediamannaman Год назад

"Because he's white?" One of the nice things about competitive sports is that they are color blind. You either make the play or you don't. This guy is earning his reputation. Don't try to take it away from him with the race card. He kinda reminds me of a young Manu Ginobili.
