Austin Reaves has an assist % of 13.8% and an assist ratio of 21.9%. Are we confusing who this guy is just because he is capable of passing a little?

(for comparison prime Joe Ingles has had an assist % of 26.2% and an assist ratio of 30.9%)

I guess maybe some people are thinking he could have a different role with us and be used differently or something.

Naz has single handedly kept Minnesota in multiple games this year. What in the world is going on here.

He's fine, but he's also at a point in his career where he isnt going to sign on to be a backup to two all-star level players. Also think Kelly Olynyk is just overall a better fit as a 3rd big. Dont think Naz is a good fit with Walker or Lauri tbh.

If we sign him, I would assume it’s because the Jazz believe he can be their starting PG. I only wonder if they’d really make him the highest paid player on the team right now.

I don’t dislike him, but I don’t want to see the Jazz burn cap space and assets to backup Kessler like they did with Gobert. Buy a 2nd round pick for a guy like TJS, add a cheap veteran and call it good.

He can function alongside Walker a bit because of his shooting. He would be 14-15 minutes of backup and 5-6 minutes at pf. He's also young so there may be a few more steps in his development. When you have injuries you don't fall off a cliff.

Price has to be appropriate but he would be an asset imo... if you made a move later he could be part of the salary/benefit. We are still in asset accumulation mode... have enough draft assets... this would hopefully give us another good asset that actually provides some on court value. Our cap space the next two years will have a low likelihood of being used completely efficiently. In two years the cap is 150% of what it is now and the contract looks great. If its more than MLE then nah... equal or less than MLE sign me up.

If I were the Jazz and I got Austin Reaves I wouldn’t be starting him at the two. He’d be at the one. Especially because Agbaji is projecting as the starting two next season. That would be a really good backcourt

Hell yeah. I thought I was crazy for thinking that was a thing, but yes, I’ve been considering that as huge upside.
