Fuss is getting more and more incomprehensible!
From the start of the '23-24 season to now, Reaves has shot 63 from the bench4%, while the starter is 605%。From a technical statistical point of view, Reeves, whether he is a starter or a substitute, has a very good grasp of timing.
Looking at the bench, Reeves played in at least 20 or more games, and then he averaged 15With four points, he is behind Clarkson, Bogdanovic and Tim Hardaway Jr.
If I were Hamm, I'd prefer to put Reeves on the bench because Dinwiddie is coming.
When Reeves was on the bench, he shot from 2-4 feet, and it was only 22A 6% shooting percentage, compared to 35 when he started2%。It was clear that he faced much less defensive pressure on the bench. The good news is that Reeves has 46 on the offensive end7% hit. And Durant and Booker are 49 respectively4% and 470%。
In fact, high-intensity shooting is also a major characteristic of Reaves.
However, in this decisive moment, Reeves was only 385% shooting, at that time, the difference between the two sides was only 5 points. Last season, he shot 69 from the field2%.
What's the situation, is Reeves being calculated by his opponents?
I think there's some reason for that, but it's more because of him. Reeves' shots on goal this season are up from 26 last year8% rises to 402%。
Would Reaves be a good point guard? Of course not. Statistically, Reeves shot 46 from the field with 2 dribbles7%, 3 41 with 6 dribbles6%, 7 times or more is 316%。As you can see from the stats, as Reaves' dribbling increases, so does his shooting percentage. In stark contrast, Willis dribbled just 42 times from 3-67% hit. This contrast is a clear indication that Reaves' shooting isn't good enough.
When Reaves came on, the opposing team shot from 469% down to 493%.Last season, Reeves had 31 offensive fouls compared to last season2 minutes, while this season's stats are 01。Last season, Reaves ranked behind Jalen Williams, Jalen Brunson and Beverley in the average number of fouls on the offensive end.
In this way, Reeves' form this season can be described as ups and downs. I think Reeves was laughed at on the pitch and on both ends of the pitch, and that was what he brought on himself.
From an offensive point of view, receiving the ball is certainly more efficient, but you still have to practice catching the ball a little more. The more you try to prove yourself, the more it will backfire. And for the Lakers, being willing to be a role player is perhaps the most important thing. In terms of defense, he didn't want to be Reeves's"Brain", so his presence is low.
Reaves is undoubtedly a trade if the Lakers can acquire stars like Trae Young and Mitchell after the season. After all, as James ages, the Lakers have to have someone who can stabilize the team. It's clear that Reeves isn't good enough right now.
