Antonio Reeves has had a terrific NBA Draft Combine, and he could be rising up draft boards. According to one NBA analyst, he is already a top 40 player worthy of consideration in round one.
Reeves is a sharp-shooting guard who improved every area of his game prior to last season. He went from mainly just being a three-point shooter to being able to score inside and out. His defense got better as well.

The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie is very high on Reeves and his NBA future. He went on X, formerly known as Twitter, to talk about the former Wildcat. In part, he said:
I’m also inching closer to an Antonio Reeves first round grade. Not quite there, but he’s a top-40 guy for me.
This is high praise for a player who has mainly been a late second round pick in most mock drafts, if he’s in them at all. Many have him going undrafted.
Reeves became one of the more popular players in recent years with Kentucky. His skillset seems to be one that can help an NBA team, and Big Blue Nation hopes he hears his name called, maybe even in round one.
