“… Just feel, vision, awareness, and understanding of the game,” said Kerr of what makes Reaves a “connector.” “The ball just goes to the right spot, the right cut is made. Austin made a play yesterday where he made a drive and kick; he was kind of behind the defense, and he worked completely behind the defense, flashed kind of in the middle of the paint, caught it and swung it through. He had feel; you have to have awareness to make a play like that. So connectors are guys who make those types of plays, and the game just makes sense, and you end up getting open shots.”

Really plays the game the right way
Another connector clone emerges
I’m already sick of Reaves content, and it’s only just begun…
nbacj about to have a field day with this
He’s a real gym rat I heard
sounds like a good fit for one of Monty’s daughters
Trae Young is only half the gym rat that Austin Reaves is. That’s why he didn’t make the team
No Warriors player has made Steve Kerr smile like that in a long time
classy player
He’s so good x4
He’s like a second coach out there, fundamentally sound.
Steve Kerr calling somebody a “connector” is really really high praise.
Most overhyped Mid player in the league, o wait he plays for the Lakers
Yeah I won’t front, I fw Reeves. FTL tho
Steve really loves Reaves and Caruso. He can only hope his FO pulls off an undrafted signing like those two
But r/nba told me he was a wasted roster spot
God damn it. We should have at least made an offer.
:’) my boi
Can’t spell USA without Austin Reaves
I wish nothing but success for him. However I’ve never seen a player average 13 get this much hype
