Why an undrafted sophomore is getting MVP chants 

Couldn't put that in basketball terms my guy?? Lmao

@@tryhardfinessedyou do you make this same lame comment every time the running back comparison has been made to LeBron the past 18 years? Or Zion Williamson? You’re obviously not a true nba follower if that comment triggers you

@@hayorge27 he didn’t get triggered and also how could not liking a football comparison have anything to do with being a “true NBA follower”, like you are I guess

❤

Austin's patience can a bit too much sometimes. He has a tendency to overdribble and gets himself and the team into lot of trouble.

Knowing full well I might come off as bitter… he got a video because he’s on the lakers. Don’t get me wrong he has been fantastic but really? A 1 hour video after dropping 35 in a game? Quick clarification, I’m talking about the 1 hour highlight from the nba’s RU-vid channel

@@TiggySL 1 hour?

@@triptychlux 3 days ago, NBA’s official RU-vid channel. “1 hour of Austin Reaves best careers highlights”

@@TiggySL that’s insane

@@TiggySL ; imo there are many fans who could benefit about appreciating the little things in basketball. - Take Russell Westbrook, many NBA fans think that RW is one of the best point guards in the NBA. Why? Because RW is an entertainer & he always plays fast. But RW has often padded his stats. RW has one of the lowest shooting percentages for a point guard overall and at 3 point range. Also RW is known to play terrible defense, have high turnovers and be a ball hog at the end of games. Austin Reeves is getting attention by knowledgeable people, like in the video from this channel, because AR plays the right way. He’s unselfish, he’s in control, he tries on defense and he is a decent shooter. An even better version of AR’s style is by Jrue Holiday who is an excellent but very underrated point guard.

I didn't like anyone on the Lakers last year and I REALLY don't like anyone on the Lakers this year.

@@nocturne311 Not even Vanderbilt? He's awesome. I still respect your opinion.

@@nocturne311haterrrrr

@@bignoob24 I was making a joke. Haha. I actually respect the entire team. I'm just a dirty Celtics fan.

Ah ok

Reminds me of dante divinchenzo. Not how they play, but just their consistency and fervour for the game. Mistakes are rare and they always show up to play in big moments

Yep. He won’t have the most upside, but he’ll make a bunch of little plays every game that move the needle toward a win and that is a big impact at the end of 48 min

Except when he turns the ball over getting it stolen on ball pressure

@@B.Piercesports everyone has turnovers. Question is how often..

I love how everyone is giving examples of white guys for being smart.

AARP LAKERS SQUAD😂

aarp lmao

AARP?

I really think most any college power 5 conference player who averages 10+ppg is good enough to hold their own in the league. I'm not surprised many undrafted players have long careers. I don't think there's much talent difference between most of the drafted and undrafted players.

I'm a Knicks fan but as a kid I friggin loved Nick the quick.

Nick Van Exel was electric! ⚡

@@manager4409 your right, it is probably due to coaches favoritism that sees the so called better players excel in college

@@manager4409 I've seen so many players over the years get shafted by gate keeping coaches, or whatever politics are going on. I remember very vividly the Lakers drafting Brian Cook in the second round during their threepeat era. His rookie year he was out of shape and didn't play much. He lost weight over the summer and learned from how Robert Horry was succeeding in the triangle. He added a 3 point shot to his game. Phil Jackson was pissed at him in pre season every time that he shot. Phil would be yelling at him, and his shots were falling. By the time the season started Phil wouldn't put him in the game. One night against the Warriors Horry got hurt and there was already some injured players on the roster and Cook had to be put in the game. Cook had like 18 points in the first half and like 4 out of 5 three point shots. Phil was pissed. The Lakers were up big and all of Cook's shots were wide open good shots. Post game interview Phil is talking about wanting to trade Cook and 2 weeks later he was shipped off to Orlando. Cook could have been a real help to the team but Phil's fucking ego couldn't handle someone doing something that he couldn't conceive. That's why I think his budhist philosophy is bullshit.

Well said!

Stop meat riding lmao. Bron makes a lot of bad plays

@@chauvintookaknee4blm268 "meat riding" lmao grow up. the point is that he mostly makes good ones, not exactly hard to understand genius. only a salty hater or an actual dumb fuck would say 'Bron makes a lot of bad plays'. He has one of the best bball IQs of all time.

Austin is having a solid year. But he isn't that good.

Giannis can't play on ball tho so that was a good matchup

he told teams to not draft him if he fell to the 2nd round so he could join the lakers

@@del46_60 That makes sense. He seems like he has that late 1st round or 2nd round potential.

That is an astute comparison, and I agree that Hillbilly Kobe does indeed have the sort of composure that Jeremy Lin demonstrated.

you think 6'5 is small for a guard? he's even hunched over a bit cause he's fairly tall for a guard, even in the nba.

He’s taller than you think

Hope he stays

that's when the vets comes to play, he has Lebron in his team, he even had Westbrook, Phil Handy

He had a recent game, forgot which, where the Lakers were behind and I think AD was out. AR tried to force baskets and his %s dropped like a rock. He's definitely not a first scoring option, not until he gets a level higher at 3pt or midrange while defended shooting.

​@@beposfather Not Westbrick. But Lebron and Phil handy yes

@impressiveemu1259 agree on that!

College ball is deceptive at times because individual athletes may be great with basics and feel of the game that doesn't dominate games there. But in the NBA those skills among a veteran team with a strong system is well prized.

Lol i dont know about that comparison

Good comparison in terms of lack of weaknesses. However mikal certainly is way more gifted athletically and length wise, and elite on D

Well I did say diet for a reason but yeah maybe a diet haliburton or diet Pacers brogdon makes more sense than bridges

Eh his defense isn’t great, when guarding really good players like booker he isn’t amazing

He's if Alex Caruso could create his own shot

I could see harden in there

so more like a budget-version of cp3

No you didn't cause he was at ok st

@Don't Read My Profile Picture ok

The Big Ticket? I thought we were talking about Evan Mobley, not Kevin Garnett.

he's made like 1-2 videos about mobley last year

@@nocturne311 mobley is kg reincarnated

@@drewchristmann7888 I doubt that. His post game is non-existent. Garnett was better in his second season. Maybe Mobley can learn to shoot the three consistently though

While not as good of a defender as Caruso, he has a deeper offensive bag and game and has the potential to become that consistently healthy #3 guy to hold down the fort when Lebron or AD are down that the Lakers have been looking for that they hoped Westbrook would be (and clearly wasn't).

I’m pretty sure DLo is that #3

He is way better than Caruso because of his offensive.

Wow way to put a lot of pressure on him. But if he can have a career like Ginobli I will be very happy after all Ginobli is a Hall of Famer the next time they do the vote he should get in.

hes been steadily progressing for two years and because people notice his hard work he's a plant lol. stay mad

Talking about refs is highly disrespectful and proves you didn't even watch the video you are commenting on. Reaves is a great ball-handler with high basketball-IQ, who gained a lot of confidence since Russ left and LeBron suffered an injury. That's a great story and people are just so toxic with those narratives and lies. Tell me one thing: why do the Suns cry for more FT's if they take 18 shots from the paint? Who goes to the basket in their current squad? Booker and? People who don't know game say BS like that. And don't appreciate players, who make winning plays like Austin Reaves.

😂

Woah .....woah .... And u got 72 likes which means there's more dummies than I thought. U ready to get ur pride hurt ? Cuz I'ma about to hurt ur feels and teach u a lesson.

That is/was Lauri Bird?

@@jlui21 2.0

You're embarrassing and insulting, Reaves is a legit NBA player and Caruso was a starter on a Championship team and is still one of the league's best perimeter defenders. Nobody hyped McClung as a role player, he played BARELY 22 minutes in their uniform, so your statement is as dumb as possible. Matt Ryan hit one clutch 3 point and you're just here to be toxic and dumb.

He's the next Luka Doncic
