Antonio Reeves Just Committed
- Thread starter BMo643
- Start date
I don't think Reeves is a starter. He may see minutes at the 2 and 3. Baylor would definitely start at the 3.
I think if he saw the official list of early entrants the NBA released he knew. There is no way Sharpe is passing up the lottery.
It’s funny when the news comes out that Sharpe is on the list of NBA draftees this morning all of a sudden this news comes out too. I’m glad the kid is coming to play for UK because we need some decent kids. Still not a very good trade for a top 10 draft pick for a top 30 portal player especially if we want to challenge for the title.
Absolutely. Baylor would arguably be the best player out of all of those guys but its still a butterfly effect on the minutes and its still roster competition. I'm betting due to his recent comments on Kansas and the fact that once Baylor hit the portal the "Reeves to UK may not be a done deal" stories all started to conveniently pop up and now 24 hours after Baylor hits the portal and after UK has had time to speak with Baylor all of those reports on Reeves are out the window and he's suddenly committed.
I don’t know much about the guy, but I’ll always welcome some shooters to come onboard.
Nice. Seems to be a good offensive threat , not sure how his D looks but I’m sure it’s at least average.
Never know until it’s over and the roster is set.
I’ll take. A player who wants to play here over the other any day of the week.
I agree that he fills a void with 3 point shooting but we all know if he can't play defense Cal may keep him buried on the bench.
I like the addition as bench scorers are always appreciated. Using just MPG here’s what we have leaving and replacing.
TyTy-Cason almost even match so I’ll assume MPG is consistent
Mintz and Grady combined for 58 MPG- Reeves, CJ, and Livingston presumably count towards that
Keion, Hopkins, and Allen combined for 36 MPG(not perfect due to some DNP’s for the latter two). The question becomes do Toppin and Collins increases in minutes make up that loss? I don’t think so.
So in short I expect one more quality add to the roster especially given the injury concern with Fredrick and to a lesser extent Wheeler. I do not expect a top tier transfer like Scheierman or guys of the like. Someone between 20-40 like Reeves or slightly lower and someone like Thiero.

Kansas almost has a full roster. I think they have only one spot available and that isif one of their guys keeps their name in the draft. Thats what I heard anyway so if they add anyone from portal it'll probably just be one or two tops.
Maybe we'll have luck with some other transfers as well

That’s the same question mark for any transfer. Any crystal ball picks in the transfer is the same as asking the Ouija board who will perform better.
CJ isn't some stout defender either. Wallace cant play 40. This kid will play a good amount.
Good start like reeves now add the dude for SDSU or add the dude from Chattanooga and Kentucky will be in good shape
Sharpe was already in the draft. That wasn't a secret. Did you somehow think he wasn't going to be in the draft?
You root for a program that in the past few years: 1. Had its head coach dragged into a federal extortion case for banging a ***** and paying for her abortion 2. was the only school in history to have a national title stripped (along with much more) for paying strippers to cavort with underage recruits 3. Are still facing sanctions and probation after being caught by the FBI buying a player -- despite firing your coach and AD....and yet you want to comment on "drama" at Kentucky?
I'd suggest you fly back to the U6 Board, but your nonsense is so funny maybe you should stay as entertainment.
If Cal was that worried about his defense then I highly doubt he would’ve committed here and Reeves would’ve went to Oregon.
Why is Reeves only rated at the 20th in terms of the ranking of those in the Portal? That doesn't sound good. And before I get a bunch of defensive responses how about only those with objective knowledge.
I hope he's good here.
FWIW, his Defensive BPM (box plus minus) is -1.5 and 0.7 defensive win shares. Allows 109 pts per 100 def possessions.

He has had several commitments from HS and portal guys over the last 3-4 years who can't play defense. It doesn't seem like defense has been a priority with this staff.
