At what point do we start discussing Reaves as a plus defender? In the last week, AR has made life hell for the following players in closing time of must win games: Nikola Jokic Kevin Durant Alperen Sengun AR scaling up v much bigger players has been critical to LAL defense

🧵Austin Reaves' Defense vs HOU AR generally turns the defense up post ASB and he's been impeccable on that end of the floor recently Hou gets Oreb, LBJ w/baseline rotation to deter KD Reaves helps the helper by rotating on Capela to take away the lob, then retreats for steal

JJ Redick on Austin's defense: "I thought down the stretch of regulation and overtime, he was phenomenal defensively"

Tarris Reed Jr. is an interesting prospect. He's gotten better every year. Love the passing he's flashed this year. Already a good rebounder, shot-blocker and finisher around the basket.

Players averaging 16+ points, 12+ rebounds, and 4+ assists per 36 minutes on 55% shooting or better this season: Giannis Antetokounmpo Nikola Jokic Day'Ron Sharpe

It’s a shame the overwhelming majority of BB consumers view impact from a makes/misses perspective exclusively Because that narrow lens is what allows folks to think Jake LaRavia had a subpar game v MINN Truth is Jake did all the connector components that LAL desperately needs

Ian Eagle on Day'Ron Sharpe's poster "He just frame mogged the Grizzlies"

You give Austin Reaves primary option usage, he gives you primary option production Reaves had his way against a top-10 defense all game long And we haven’t even touched on the defense…….superb against Brunson repeatedly when the game got a bit tighter
