Just because he’s good at punching faces doesn’t mean you should pigeon hole into that one facet of the game that he’s clearly elite in. He can hit like a train, stand up for the skilled players on the team and is beloved in the locker room. I would have gladly payed 3x1.8 for intangibles like that.
Unless Reaves can improve his game to another level, most notably his offense which I doubt he can at this point, I'm not convinced he should be worth more than $1.2M a year with his current game.
