That Cal tweet is funny. The first part about scoring is correct, but the “became a rebounder and defender” is stretch. Reeves posted a negative DBPM every year in college, which includes 3 years at Illinois State. He will probably never be even an average defender in the league, but he has a chance to shoot well enough that it won’t matter.

SL with Reeves, Hawkins, and Missi will be fun to watch


Upped his rebound% and amount
Became an average college defender

That being said, I will be SHOCKED if he's anything more than the 14-15th guy on this team. Hawkins was an above average defender in college as a sophomore and can't get minutes on this stupid team.

This looks to be a solid 2nd pick.

Might be the best shooter in this draft.

I like Reeves a lot, but his teammate literally shot 52% from 3 lol

Definitely one of the best shooters coming out though, and he, like Hawk, can get mega hot and make 4 threes in 2 minutes. Watched Kentucky a lot this year and he seemed to have a bunch of games where he would score 10+ points in the first 6 minutes of the game.

Gonna need some cheap wing depth after Ingram is traded.

I’m not sure he can really do anything else, but he can definitely shoot


He can shoot off the dribble and has a really good floater game.

His athleticism isn't nba good. His entire highlight videos show it. Finishes below the rim alot.

sounds like a guy who is very similar to Matt Ryan.
I can't say i've paid attention to him at Kentucky, would that be a good comparison? awesome from 3, terrible on D but will at least try hard?

Often overlooked. He's not just a shooter, he's a scorer.

Terrence Ross is a better comparison. Reeves can score better inside than Ryan.
