On the periphery, any team returning its second-leading scorer – and fifth-year senior – is a big deal across the college basketball landscape. Antonio Reeves averaged 14.4 points per game for Kentucky last season, second behind All-SEC performer Oscar Tsheibwe. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard also paced the Wildcats by shooting 39.8 percent from three.
The issue is the other six players who finished in Kentucky’s top seven in scoring will no longer be with the program.
