High Bball IQ
Really showed improvement from last year
Very confident, not afraid to take big shots
Knack for drawing fouls is a great quality
Hits difficult shot

He can be our key bench player for the future
We better not let him get away.

Freaking lol at “bench player”. And which SG is better than him right now on this team?

This man is indeed the closer - if I'm Ham I have him closing in the 4th every game and putting the ball in his hands.

Having a player like him off the bench is not a bad thing, like Ginobili. Who cares if he start as long as he finishes the game

If he's not I would imagine it is due to Jeanie more than Rob. Hopefully she's learned her lesson.

Love Caruso. Infuriated when he left. That said, in today's NBA, where offense rules, give me Austin every day without question. I also think the difference between his offense and Alex's is much vaster (more vast?) than Alex's defensive ability over Austin. Like at least you know Austin is going to compete and battle and occasionally frustrate an opposing player with his defense. Alex's offense was at times nonexistent.

Manu Ginobli only worked on that role because the team was actually winning and still had other guards who can play defense on that role well.

Which SG on this team players better defense than Reaves? Again, I’ll wait.

The Arenas rule makes it viable to sign at Jeanie’s price.

Austin Reaves to me is borderline All-Star... in only his 2nd season.

If Jeanie is too cheap to keep him, f—- her and her team.

I literally have no idea why Caruso keeps getting brought up. We could (should) have had both. One has nothing to do with the other. And they don't even play remotely alike, they're just both undrafted white dudes who are very good at basketball.

Yeah we keep that all star on the bench.

Something tells me it will be more of Reaves wanting a starting role elsewhere than Jeanie being cheap. Because so far he’s getting disrespected here.

We'll see makeup of roster next year, who knows. Are we going to have Schroder back, is Beasley going to be here? Are we going to get a shooter more consistent than Beasley?
This year I doubt Ham is going to changes things with season almost over.

I love these kind of players.
Actual basketball players.
Give him the minutes he deserves coach.

Btw, was there some minutes thing regarding his contract?

Schroder? Probably not. Same with Troy Brown as neither have bird rights.

Beasley hopefully gets traded.
