The 2023 Kentucky Mr. Basketball hails from London, Kentucky, where he played at North Laurel High School. His high school tenure landed him an offer from the University of Kentucky, the same school his father played for in the 1990s. If you travel near Lexington, home of the Kentucky Wildcats, they will know the name of Jeff Sheppard, a two-time national champion. While Reed was not able to reach the same heights in his lone season with the Wildcats, his performance comfortably lands him as a top-of-the-lottery projection. He will turn 20 years old two days prior to the first round of the NBA draft on June 26th.
