I think it depends on the team and what they have and are looking for. Reaves has one year left then a PO on a great deal and his ceiling is a third guy. It will be very easy to pay him too much on an extension to be the third guy. As f’d up as Zions career has been so far his ceiling is much higher.
His "2k ceiling", sure. But i think its about time to start revising Zion's ACTUAL ceiling downwards. I trust Reaves in his role, more than i do Zion in his.
His on court ceiling isn’t an issue. It’s his conditioning/maturity/injuries that are an issue. So save the 2K stuff. It’s all about if he can mature as he gets older, take care of himself and stay on the court. Derrick Coleman comes to mind as a super talented guy who could never get it together off the court. Idk but I’m not valuing Reaves over Zion right now. Just no way.
Thank you for proving my point.
And again, Derrick Coleman is another prime example of someone who would rate higher in a video game than in real life. Because in a video game they just take his (and Zion's) theoretical best, as a baseline even though neither could keep it up. Hell, Zion would've only qualified for end-of-season awards ONCE so far, out of 6 seasons. I'll take Reaves over 70 games a year ahead of Zion for 35 or 40, but you do you...
