Yeah because 10 games warrants forgetting about his insane play last season...

GTFO


What insane play last year? He's been on losing teams playing loser ball his whole career. He runs out the shot clock by holding it and then forces the offense to have a low percentage play(often his own layup). Thats fine when the opportunity cost isn't high which is why he will always be a solid player for a lower team IMO.

With him at the helm, the offense will get .9 points per possession with whoever he plays with. For a bad team that scores .8 points per possession, thats great. For playoff teams that score at least 1 point per possession, he's making the team worse. Thats why I say he plays loser ball.

I'm making these numbers up to illustrate my point. But this is how I've always felt about him. If he actually kept up this shooting, he could be coached to not hog the ball and be an asset to the offense. But he seems reluctant to do that and I'm not trusting his 30 shot sample size over the 646 he has shot in his career just yet.

Reke is far from perfect, but he gives opposing teams fits.

No argument from me here. I think Reke has the ability to be a real valuable piece in all of this, but he has to facilitate more. His numbers indicate that he has that ability, but his instincts scream 1 on 1 ball, and that isn't going to work in the highly competitive west.

Seems like lineups with Reke are working pretty well offensively, and that's with EG shooting like absolute dogshit for 7 out of 10 games.
