Whew. That sure was a hell of a lot of basketball, huh?
among players to take at least 100 such shots, snuggled right between Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan on that list;only seven
produced more points per possession than Reaves: Kevin Durant, Kawhi, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, Donovan Mitchell and Damian Lillard; The Lakers scored 1.19 points per possession this season when Reaves shot, or passed to a teammate who shot, against drop coverage. Among players who faced at least 150 possessions of drop, only KD and Luka Doncic were more productive.. Reaves is a legit 6-foot-5 playmaker with great feel in the pick-and-roll, the body control to decelerate quickly to create space, and a killer pull-up jumper.
In Sunday’s Game 1, though, the Heat were ready for a steady diet of Lopez dropping deep on both high pick-and-rolls and side pick-and-rolls … and this time, those answers were routinely correct: To beat the Bucks, you've got to beat Brook Lopez in a drop. Back in 2021, the Heat had no answers. In Game 1, though, with Jimmy + Bam in midrange rhythm, Kevin Love hitting pick-and-pop 3s, and some smart cuts/hesitations, Miami created/cashed enough good looks to take control.
