[Corvo] Sounds like Austin Reaves has a real chance to move into the Team USA starting lineup, if Steve Kerr decides to alter the rotation. “Kerr has singled out (Reaves and Haliburton) — Reaves in particular — for their play during training camp,” writes @TimBontemps

    “The ball movement is especially apparent when the second unit, led by Haliburton and Austin Reaves, takes the floor. The two have a natural chemistry, and they combined for 16 assists to just two turnovers against Puerto Rico, leading a unit that was rocketing up and down the court, constantly kicking the ball ahead to the open man for runout layups and dunks.

    Kerr has singled out both players — Reaves in particular — for their play during training camp, and they are going to be the two most important players coming off the bench, presuming Kerr sticks with his current rotation. If he doesn’t, it will be because Haliburton or Reaves earns a chance to move into the starting group.”

    Kerr bout to play Reaves 48 minutes a game.

    Anybody that watched the game can confirm this. Brunson is a great player but he’s not a set up guy, and that hurts when the rest of the starting lineup are also not pass first players (except maybe Bridges who spent most of his career as a 3rd option). I actually think Haliburton is a better fit moving up if it’s just one player shifted to starter because he’s had more overall reps as a 1st option lead ball handler (at the professional level) but I am intrigued by the idea of both starting.
