After leading Illinois State in scoring as a junior with 20.1 points per game on 46.9% from the field and 39.0% from three, Antonio Reeves looked for a bigger and brighter opportunity at his next stop. He led the Missouri Valley Conference in scoring and finished top 20 in all of Division I, but the 6-foot-6 guard wanted to prove he could thrive at a high-major program.
Luckily for Reeves, Kentucky was replacing TyTy Washington, Kellan Grady and Davion Mintz, and perimeter scoring was at the top of the school’s priority list going into the offseason.
