North Florida head coach Matthew Driscoll has been in the coaching profession for 35 years. He was an assistant coach at Baylor and Clemson for a combined 11 seasons, and this is his 14th season as a head coach at N.Fla. Driscoll pinpointed Reeves’ ability to both get open shots and then make them as the key to successful season for UK.
“I’ve seen a lot of good players. He’s as good a 3-point shooter, and as good of a 3-point finder as there is in the country,” Driscoll said. “If he doesn’t have a three, he’s gonna find a three with a stepback or a separation. A lot of guys, they get thrown off, and then they can’t get into a rhythm. And I think that’s what makes Reeves special.”
In the postgame, Reeves said that his ability to “find” 3-point shots didn’t really develop until his junior year at Illinois State, when he got better at getting into a rhythm, maintaining good footwork, knowing his own movements and being able to read defenders.
