Reid Travis is a grown man. There is no way of getting around it. The combination of his strength and athleticism is something we have not seen at Kentucky in quite some time.
Travis not only led Kentucky in rebounding in the Bahamas, but he had twice as many overall as anyone on the team outside of PJ Washington. He was also the only Wildcat to average a double-double with 12 points to go with his 10.3 rebounds per game.
Travis showed glimpses of exactly what Big Blue Nation expected from him. He made shots in the pain, drained a couple of three-pointers, and was incredible in defending the paint.
