It’s not a far fetched statement, even if reeves is not the best 3rd best option he’s in the discussion
He's probably top 5-8, you got
Chet/Williams
Mobley/Garland
KP
Bane
And there's probably others I'm missing as well, but top 5-8 sounds about right

As a so called shooting guard?
Yes, but that's why I said fringe. He'll never get in with the talent in the wings especially in the West, but if you look at his play and the numbers he's not that far off

If you actually watch him… he is that far off

I watch him every night
He was the second best USA player in the 2023 FIBA Cup for a reason

He’s always been third option. When it was AD and Bron he was third option. He is the same now. Any other all star two guard is usually first or second option. Therefore, his numbers won’t exactly match other all stars. But as you see when Bron is out, he plays at an all star level. He’s a “fringe” all stars level player as was stated. It’s not far off.

Kawhi low-key is the 3rd option on Cappershe ain’t the best third option in Los Angeles

so you might be right
Damn Beal went from all nba third team to not even being mentioned among top 20 3rd options on the coli 
But I guess to be a third option you actually need to be a definitely weaker than top 2. Otherwise it would be someone on the Kings, Sabonis, Levine or Derozan but no none of them is a clear 1, 2 or 3 right?

WHAT MONSTER GAMES?
PORZINGIS HAS ONE 30PT GM
AND THREE 25 -29PT GMS
REEVES ONE 45PT GM
FIVE 30-39PT GMS
EIGHT 25-29PT GMS
Evan Mobley is the answer to this question depending on how you view Garland

My point still stands....AR has his monster games when Lebron or Luka are out........Porzingis has been injured so he's played a limited number of games....Pozingis also doesn't occupy the same space as Tatum/Brown and impacts the defense.......When Doncic/Lebron are in the lineup that's less opportunity for AR.
Of course the key word with KP is "when healthy".....I rather have AR than KP
