Polished player. Wish we had more players like him.

At least Walker IV is stepping up too.

I know this isn’t an either/or, and I understand they are two very different players in terms of what they offer on the court…

But has Reaves slowly filled that hole in your heart left by Caruso leaving?

The younger guys on this team are rounding in to shape. They are not superstars, but no the support roles type guys now we need for our stars to stay healthy.

Same, he’s become the leader on the floor when AD and LeBron are off the court.

NEVER! (but this is like Marc Anthony leaving Ms. Universe to get with J.LO then leaving J.LO to get with the new Ms. Universe)

If Luka can dominate the league with no athleticism, surely Reaves can become a quality starter on a winning team.

Reaves should just work on strengthening his base and study Luka whenever he gets a chance.

I'm so pleasantly surprised by Reeves...I know a lot of fans predicted his rise but I was skeptical of a sophomore slump from him. He looks poised on the floor consistently making the right plays.

2019 cap space would have allowed AC to sign a 4yr deal instead of a 2yr…and earmarking just 35k more from Nunn’s MLE deal would have allowed Reaves a 3yr deal instead of just a 2yr deal…just sayin.

Luka is very athletic wtf. He can’t jump, but his quickness/shiftiness is absolutely elite. He can stop and go better than almost anyone.

Reaves doesn’t have that level of agility, but it would serve him well to get stronger.

Obviously Reaves isn't Luka, but all I saw were those quick change of direction moves.

Harden is someone else he can study.

Ding ding ding.

Outside of some wing depth we have plenty capable role guys like Reaves, Walker IV, Brown Jr, TB, etc.

They just do their jobs.

This ultimately goes back to LeGroin and Day to Davis. Stop pouting, step up and play like a superstar. AD has stepped up…tbd on LePassiveAggressive when he gets back.

I actually think Ham is bringing him along nicely. We’re only 14 games in and he’s getting rotational guard minutes, and time at backup PG (offensively). You keep turning the dial up as the season goes on so long as he keeps responding.
