I don't want to get ahead of myself, but are we on track for a 50/30 game from Reaves?

Could Bronny turn into a legit role player someday? He's been actually playing good defense on Russ... He just needs to knock down open shots consistently.

AR and Knecht need to go off!

Everyone else has to played solid role and defense.

I think defense was always his calling card. He's got the defense but not the 3 to be a legit role player.

Yeah, everyone gives him a hard time as Bron’s son but he is legit!

He has bounce and quickness to be a solid 3&D player ala Payton Jr or higher ceiling of Gabe Vincent, seriously

We need some offense in this lineup. Put in Dalton JJ.

At some point in time he turned a corner and realized, "okay, I can play against this level of players", he's been averaging 21/5/5 in the G-League regular season on 43/36 (8 3PA) / 80. Compared to every other level he's played at, including highschool, he's looked way more aggressive, actually attacking, not just passing every time a defender gets close, using more than one dribble and change of direction, it's a whole different player.

That confidence and click is the first step for a player to actually be useful in the league. Now it all just depends on how he can develop. He has some physical tools for sure, if he can become a consistent shooter with physical tools and who defends, he will keep himself in the league.
