Reaves has not proven he's better than Kyle Kuzma. He's an efficient role player that benefits from playing with Bron and AD( specifically AD).
I disagree
1- Reeves full season numbers are skewed bc of Russ. Post Russ I’m pretty sure AR averaged close to 20 a game. For the playoffs AR averaged 17,5, and 4 on 46/44
Kyle Kuzma at that age, also with bron and AD, in a similar role and minutes, averaged 10 and 3 on 43/31
2- If you REALLY been pay attention you’d know that bron may have even held Reeves back some. They were better off when they let AR go in P&R. Brown would hijack the offense to play iso bron ball, or slow the pace, or shoot Lefukk you 3s
3- What is your super power. There’s no defense in the league. So if you are really good at something it’s gonna travel. Austin reeves is ELITE in pick and roll, and potentially top tier as a shooter.
With Kuzma, what is his super power? What is he good at!?! Hes either a stretch 4 with no stretch—-under 35% from 3 in 4 of 6 seasons, his career high is 36%——or he’s a 3&D with no D
He’s a tweener. A bit clumsy for a 3 and no defense at the 4. He’s Tobias Harris but a way worse shooter. Give me Reeves all day
