I think he was mostly a point guard in college.

His price just keeps going up and up every time he plays like tonight.
Definitely playing pass that $10m projection right now.
AR is going to be better than Caruso. I think he already is. They will hold onto him.

IMO, Reaves is not going anywhere unless it is in a deal for Victor Wembanyama

Even then, I want another first round pick in that deal.
Victor isn’t guaranteed to be good after all. He’s unproven. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif

That would never happen, and I’m totally OK with that
Just want him to be a Laker for a long time
It’s not just that he’s a Hidden gym
It’s not just that he’s a homegrown talent
It’s not just that is blossomed into a fine player
Love his character as well that guy will give you everything he has every night and super basketball iq smart

Thought experiment: what does Austin average on a rebuilding team? Would he put up Kuzma-like scoring numbers? With better efficiency?

We're hearing that he doesn't have handles from the same small group. I don't believe that's the consensus at all. His handles may not be Kyrie level, but anyone who can crossover and back, and bank the shot perfectly as he did in the previous game, has handles.
I bet you won't find any of his coaches or teammates questioning his handles. Only fans who are looking at, and for, his imperfections. He's fine now and he's going to get better.

Reaves and Caruso play absolutely nothing alike. It's actually almost borderline racism at this point to even treat them as the same. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif

Or ignores defense. Austin is good (2.1 RAPTOR) but Caruso is off the charts (6.2). _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
