    One thing I respect the most about Austin Reaves is shown in what he said: "I am not blessed enough to freestyle it." - He plays in the NBA; is one of the most talented basketball players on the planet. Yet, he says he has to dedicate himself to learning plays, playing in the system etc.. It is admirable given that others see themselves as so blessed with talent, that they refuse to run plays, play in a system and just to their thing every game.

      The truth is that there are guys who can get by on just inherent talent & athleticism, and Reeves knows that. Young MJ was exactly like that; while 1990s MJ was more measured, disciplined, and moved while off-ball to shift defenses away from the real play.

      its why it blows many minds when such capable players don't just buy in to systems, i get egos and trying to be "the guy", they are good enough to do so much. and every team that wins a champ, no complaints from the other guys who contributed

That man’s basketball IQ is so high he understands the development of those around him and his ability to trust his teammates is honestly kind of inspiring. He makes the good basketball decision regardless of who he is passing to and trusts them but even if they don’t make it he doesn’t lose faith in them or disrespect them, he is the first one to help them up and tell them to shake it off

    Gotta admit this man’s offensive game isn’t bad at all!! He hits huge 3s all the time and he can drive in for and one’s. Just needs to work on his defense and dribbling. I’m a Celtics fan so I naturally hate any Laker players lol. You gotta respect AR though, dude came out of no where and balling in a city where a lot of people fold under the lights.

    • @beckmanchilds756
      @beckmanchilds756 Год назад

      He’s confident as hell. His bag of skills is never fully on display tho. He’s settling for his role and driving and hitting contested shots often still, but his true offensive bag is quite extensive. If you look at his hs/college highlights he’s been doing the same exact things.
      People do it all the time, comparing players to their previous college or even hs days but that never translates. The most difficult shots he has put up in the past he’s basically done as a laker. He’s just not needed to score so much (which I don’t think he could do full volume). It’s also very impressive how he basically has to cook with a microwave being on a team with Lebron and AD who average like 50+ points every game.
      The other thing is that AR’s handling is the part of the game that translated to the nba best. Most guards Can’t translate like that unless they’re a lottery pick. Lakers rely on Reaves to handle the rock After Lebron. Which is nuts. He’s a special solid player for the lakers. Signing him for another 4 years for less than 60 mil was a great move
      Edit:
      I forgot to mention he has plays great defense. His anticipation is great. Sneaky good and he’s got length.
