Was Austin Reaves great 2nd half run and playoff run in 2023 just Linsanity 2.0??
This is an undrafted guy from Arkansas who never showcased this type of NBA level talent at any collegiate or professional level before he took off last season.
The Vibes are EERILY Similar to Jeremy Lin when he had a bizarre breakout in the NBA from the PG position and seemed to have an all star skill level from outta nowhere.
We saw Lin fall hard back to earth in the following seasons where he became a Mid player who didn’t make that much impact.
Is this Austin Reaves?? His talent ceiling seems to be like a 14 ppg mediocre starter level player with some solid handles and a relatively pure shot…but there’s nothing very special about him athletically to make anyone say “Wow yeah the whole league overlooked this dude”
It’s the same story as Lin he was a flash of all star brilliance who faded back to his right level of solid NBA player until injuries permanently crushed him into a bench rider.
Reaves seems to be on a similar path he isnt really that great he just had a flash of brilliance playing off LeBron and AD and now the clock has struck midnight for Cinderella

Reeves agent fleeced Rob lowe
Dude is a backup dancer getting paid like a lead
I still remember seeing a (very attractive) woman, at one of the games during his peak, holding up a homemade sign saying “Jeremy, I want you Linside me” lol. I think about it, every time he gets mentioned
I say let’s see at the middle of the season, hopefully Reaves gets better
Linsanity shits on whatever austin has done brother
He’s good, not gonna say he can’t repeat what he’s done, he’s just overrated. I don’t think he leaves the Caruso, Monk tier of guys that have already played on LAL. That’s not bad though
He’s a nice player. He just not the player he had been hyped up to be. He’s more of the guard version of Joe Ingles and for that, the contract is not bad. The problem so far this season is that defenses are targeting him and making him work harder on defense.
Is it better to not have made the NBA, or to only have Linsanity as your legacy?
Come on man Jeremy is not that bad and Austin prove himself in playoffs and Fiba already.
You should watch the linsanity doc on MAX. Reeves will never come close to that.
