Probably the wrong word. I guess I mean all of those guys who don't walk into the league who are gifted enough physically that they will get a shot regardless.

I think your word choice was reasonable. If his mental approach to the game were average, he would not even be in the league. He is maximizing his ability.

Hate this for Austin. For a guy off to a really nice start but still in a position where he has to really compete for minutes, missing several games could be a big setback. I hope he can pick up where he left off when he returns, but that’s no sure thing.

I agree. Ellington and Monk have been very inconsistent, which helps him. The backcourt seems to be getting healthy. Last night they said Nunn would be ready soon, and the coaching staff loves him. Bazemore is giving nothing, and I don't think Ariza will be ready until after the holiday season.

I believe he will get minutes, unless his injury keeps him out for longer than projected. Hamstrings can be problematic......

Any thoughts of THT not cutting into Reaves minutes are now gone. Dude looks like the 3rd best player on the Lakers.

[pnkranger]

Agreed. But he could pick up some of bazemore's minuts, and the Lakers are always going to have someone sitting out all year with the ages of the players.

[NickZepp]

Trae with 18 points 11 assists in a win over Boston tonight.

Yep. Nunn and Ariza will get opportunities to join the rotation as well.

[NickZepp]

Blake 6 points 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 3 blocks. Durantless Nets beat the Magic 115-113

[WaymanFan]

19 for Young in a Hawks win, and 16 for Hield in yet another Kings loss. I wouldn't be surprised if the Kings move on from Luke Walton this coming week. It's just not working out.
