merit:
Austin Reeves has a chance to be a versatile player on the bench for a team.
On the offensive end, Austin Reeves has a relatively stable shooting efficiency, and the overall shooting percentage of 45% is a relatively acceptable statistic. Austin Reeves is smarter at playing on the court, especially good at moving without the ball, and can get a lot of points through empty cuts and empty shots. In addition, Austin Reeves has excellent lethal ability, averaging 6.8 times per game on the free throw line, and the free throws are accurate, up to 87%.
As a two-time defender, Austin Reeves averaged 4.6 assists per game, had a great big picture view, and was able to deliver passes at the right time or comb through the team's offense. For teams that are missing a bench, Austin Reeves would be a good addition.
On the defensive end, Austin Reeves has been doing a good job of rebounding, a willing to actively fight and know how to choose the most suitable position, so as to do a good job of rebounding protection. In addition, Austin Reeves's defensive ability is lackluster, 0.9 steals and 0.3 blocks are not worth mentioning, and Austin Reeves can only continue to work hard to improve his defensive level.
Austin Reeves is a defender player who has no ball, good free throws, good big picture view, good rebounding, can play multiple positions on the court, and is a team player who is team supreme.
shortcoming:
On the offensive end, Austin Reeves' shooting choices were average, especially from three-point range, averaging just 1.3 three-pointers from 4.2 shots per game, shooting just 30 percent from the field. The first step is not fast enough, and it is difficult to tear apart the opposing defense line by breaking through. The 3 turnovers per game are also worth Austin Reeves' attention, and he needs to control his ability to make mistakes.
On the defensive end, Austin Reeves is not physically outstanding in the same position, the movement and bounce are also average, it is difficult to effectively pressure the players in the same position, and it is unlikely to send high-quality defense.
Born in 1998, Austin Reeves was 23 years old when he entered the draft, lacking an elite scoring streak and a trustworthy defense. In the case of a low ceiling, the existing capabilities are difficult to become the team's immediate combat strength

Personal opinion: Austin Reeves, as an older white player, like many white athletes, lacks strong physical strength and excellent athletic ability. But with a relatively high basketball IQ and judgment ability. If Austin Reeves wants to gain a foothold in the NBA, he must frantically practice his three-point ability in the offseason so that he can get the long-term favor of the NBA.
Other: Austin-Reeves played in his freshman and sophomore year at Wichita State University, but wasn't too much valued. So a year after the 2018-19 "Sequoia" season (because of the transfer resulting in the 18-19 years of not being able to play), he played the NCAA for the University of Oklahoma for the last two years, so in fact Austin Reeves stayed in college for five years and became a university star player at the University of Oklahoma.
