I really haven’t seen anyone talk about what I saw on the fast break 3 Reeves hit off the pass from Edwards.
Just as Edwards crosses half court, he glanced to his left to look at Reeves. To me, in that moment he had already made the decision to hit Reeves on the wing for 3 instead of trying to force the finish at the rim through the defender.
That was tremendously unselfish. With his struggles finishing, it would’ve been easy for him to force it, but he didn’t. He saw the defense not getting back to defend the wing and 2 defenders defending the paint and made the right play, the easy play for a wide open 3.
He’s going to continue to improve and yesterday was probably his best all around game since the season started and it could be the catalyst for him to really take off.
