Austin Reaves Being from a small town of 1100not a lot of people leave Just being able to show kids it's possible to chase your dream I probably had a lot of people look at me sideways when I was running around school telling everybody I wanted to be in the NBA I didn't care what they thought

Skip Bayless On AJ Dybantsa I dont see megastar and I dont see wizards being a playoff team I think hes gonna be a very nice NBA player but I worry if you throw a kid into what could turn into a sorry situation does it start to erode his enthusiasm

Sactown Sports 1140 Sam Amick on Darius Acuff Jr You had real good talent evaluators saying this guy's special that he is you know could be Allen Iverson could be Jalen Brunson

Jalen Brunson talks about hearing so many Knicks fans in road arenas I appreciate it more than I think I'll ever be able to say

Draymond says he was surprised at the Reaves contract I didn't expect the Lakers to go so high On a team where you had Austin Luka and LeBron the team didn't fare as well as one would hope I thought Lakers would stand pat and negotiate it down Austin had some struggles in the playoffs

Magic Boston looked up and said Okay Im going to put Luka in the pick-and-roll every time Then Tatum had him saying Oh you want me Okay Im just going to go past you or pull up for my jump shot because he knew he could beat him off the dribble They did the same thing to Austin Reaves
