Former Kentucky guard Antonio Reeves was drafted No. 47 overall by the New Orleans Pelicans in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft on Thursday.

The 6-foot, 5-inch Chicago native played a large role off the court as well as on as he was really leaned upon for his leadership and veteran experience as a fifth-year senior playing around a Kentucky roster that was funded mostly by freshmen.
