CJ Fredrick has deservedly earned the reputation as Kentucky’s best outside shooter throughout the preseason, but Antonio Reeves is making his own case for that honor.
Through three games on the team’s Big Blue Bahamas Tour, Reeves is the Wildcats’ second-leading scorer at 15.3 points per contest. The 6-foot-5 guard has connected on 10 of his 18 attempts from beyond the arc, good enough for a 55.6 shooting percentage from deep. Overall, he’s converting on over 53 percent of his total shot attempts.
Reeves’ best outing of the trip so far was during Saturday night’s 118-56 drumming of Carleton University (Canada) in which the Illinois State transfer dropped 23 points, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 21 minutes of action.
