Kentucky Basketball: Shooting struggles don’t limit Reid Travis’ on-floor impact

With all the positives and excellency that Kentucky has shown throughout the Bahamas Tour, the most experienced player of the group was the one who arguably struggled the most.

Reid Travis shot just 34% during his first four games in a Kentucky uniform, looking vastly uncomfortable on the low-block and missing shots that he’s typically made with ease throughout his Stanford years.

Travis did end on a high note with 19 points on Sunday and even hit a pair of three-pointers, but his bread and butter is being a bruising forward in the paint that can muscle in tough baskets against anyone, including DeAndre Ayton twice last season.
