| One of his most impressive plays was his lock down defense in Lillard, fighting through screens and finishing it with a block. I can’t find a clip of it. |

Spelled differently but coincidentally another Reeves from Arkansas that also went to school in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma State legend, Bryant Reeves!

Great game by Austin tonight.
He's caught a lot of flack for his defense this season, and I think deservedly so. But imo he's been putting more effort there the past handful of games. Taking more charges, and blocking some shots. He's blocked 5 shots in the past 4 games. Those type of hustle plays are things he did in his first couple seasons but which had been missing for much of this year. He seems to be locking in more now. |

Think Austin has rounded out his season well after a mediocre start (by last postseason standards). A real Swiss Army knife. Hell, his defense has even improved to 22-23 levels as of late

What impresses me most about AR is he will have games like this and not be bothered by going to the bench. He's a team player.

Lots to like about him. He is a team player that is effective and gives his all on both ends for 12.6 million. |

| maybe there's something to it that AR plays more freely without LeBron dominating the ball. AR should be playing the Luka Doncic role for the Lakers. their style are similar, very crafty with pick n' rolls, decent 3 point shooter and knows how to create or score off of picks. he's like a poor man's Luka. |

| His playmaking was on one tonight, he was making all kinds of things happen, but I think he was a little weary tonight judging by how his 3 point shot looked. He is a gamer though, and just makes winning plays. |

Strange that this seems to be the only anywhere that is reporting this, and with virtually no details beyond the price (such as which state it is in). |

I'm thinking it might just be a fabricated story. |

Per this reddit post, Reaves is 25-95 (31% eFG%) on shots at the end of a shot clock. That's really bad but checks out because this roster lacks a real bail out guy at the end of shot clocks (Lebron is no longer that guy).
But it's interesting he's the #2 Laker in terms of FGA for these -- and it means his overall efficiency numbers are dragged down by how much he takes these bailout shots for the team |

He IS the Lakers bail out guy. I see him being thrown the ball at the end of quarters far too often. It appears some guys want to protect their percentages. I like the fact that he is not worried about his percentage. That is a winning mentality. |

| Great post Defense. I guess we will have to wait for the AR bashers to come out during the off season. This kid is READY. |

Well LeBron has more. But yeah, he is one of them. What I meant is he's very bad at them. LeBron is not much better. This team lacks a guy who you can give the ball to when the offense stalls, and that'll probably be their undoing honestly. I like that AR is taking these shots though -- his real offensive efficiency is much higher, and that's despite him being off on spot up jumpers! I also think he's been playing better defense and deserves more credit for his work on the defensive glass. |

Lebron takes most of his past the half court line. Reaves has a lot of heaves at the end of quarters. I don't think Reaves should be going one on one to end the shot clock. It just ends up that way sometimes. I know I'm not the only one who sees some players actively not shoot, or shoot after time expires because they don't like the chance they have of making the shot.
I'm not the only one seeing that am I? That was the point I was making. |
