Reeves a second rounder in latest espn mock draft

Good for Antonio. There's always room for shooters in The Association and he had a heck of a year last season. He improved a ton from the previous year where he was just a shooter.
Good for him!
There sure was tons of talent on the team last year.

Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t see how there wouldn’t be a spot in the NBA for a guy like AR. I think he can carve out a decent little 8-10 year career.
Love Antonio. Would love to see him take a huge turn for the better in this draft. I see him as better than a lot of the players in the mock.
He is all business on the court and does one thing better than most, hits the basket, anytime you can fill it up like he can, there is a place for you in the NBA. He improved his defense and excelled against the best in college and is certainly worthy of being a first round pick.
That little running tear drop shot was money!
One of the most slept on 20ppg high major players ever.
Yes, there was! The more I think about it (the amount of talent) and how they were wasted by an inept coach, just makes me absolutely sick! They could have been something special.
Give Pope Antonio, Dilly, and Reed and we are a shoo in for the final four last year. Cal sucks.
Great news for Reeves! Where Is Rob and Reed projecting as of now? Last I checked they were still in the top 7. TIA!
I think he’s gonna have a spot in the pros. He is too good of a scorer and he shoots the hell out of the ball. Every team needs a guy like him on the wings now.
Can somebody with a better grasp on the intangibles and what it takes to be successful in the NBA, please 'Splain to me what a guy like Tyler Herro brings to the table that Antonio Reeves doesn't. Herro is a blossoming All-Star. not saying that Reeves will ever be that, but They are about the same size, both are shooters, Reeves added some mid-range and penetration to his game. What makes Herro an All-Star that Reeves doesn't have? Defense?
I would say Tyler is a better athlete and defender but I think of Jodie Meeks and how he added to his game that led to him having an 9-10 year NBA career. Very similar players in my opinion, in more ways than one.
Trueblujr2 I have no idea. Just want to say your signature gave me a good chuckle as I remember John Prine. RIP JP.
Will be a 2nd round steal for someone. Hope he goes to Celtics where they really value the 3 and uptempo play which would suit Antonio well. Not sure he'll drop that far in draft for them to take a chance. Anyone have an idea how far down in 2nd round he's projected?
Latest I saw is Reed to Houston at #3 if they keep the pick. Apparently some teams want to trade into that pick if Clingan is still on the board. So that could cause him to fall to Spurs at #4 or Hornets at #6 (Please God no!).
As for Rob, I’ve seen as high as #6 to Hornets and as low as #14 to Portland. Which would be the final lottery selection.
Maybe the best I’ve ever seen in college.
Reaves “is a bucket”! From anywhere on the court. I see him as a 6th man coming in getting 12-15 off the bench every night.
Not to mention Herro was 19 when drafted and Reeves is 23.
That was all on Calipari because he had talks with Ohio St and others and did not have the team ready to play.
I look at a guy like Reggie Bullock, who has played over a decade now, and I see Reeves as a better version of that guy. Bullock is a career 38% three point shooter who's averaged about 7 points/game over his career.
Reeves is a better shooter. He also showed he can rebound in traffic this last season at Kentucky.
I think a long career in the NBA for Reeves is something that wouldn't surprise many folks in BBN. If Mychal Mulder can find a niche in the league, so can Reeves.
There are plenty of people to point a finger at for that loss, but Reeves wasn't one of them. That guy showed up to play.
Herro is younger (was younger), a lot more athletic and had higher upside. I’d also say defense was another issue, Herro can actually guard. But the age was the biggest factor, with Herro getting drafted in his teens.
If Reeved was 4 years younger and played average defense he’d be in the 1st round. Not that I agree with it, the NBA sucks because of how they draft. But they don’t want 24 year olds who’ve maxed their potential.
Rob, Reed and Reaves....Triple R. Two lottery and one 2nd round draft pick. Who knows.....maybe we can win an SEC or NCAA tournament game with those three.
Cal:
Hey I have an idea. Let's Never play those three together.

2024 NBA Draft: 5 second-round sleepers teams should snag early, headlined by former college stars

I read on another thread the comment once again about Reed playing lousy in that last game. I watched some of it again (as painful as that can be). I have said it before and watching again you can not convince me that Reed's instruction was not get it to the post. He hardly took any shots and there was little action to free him up (which wasn't unique all season anyway). But, there was so much concentrated effort to pass the ball to the interior versus the offense displayed most of the year. I don't believe there was any other reason that what was occurring wasn't based upon Cal's game plan. It was certainly Cal's M.O for almost his entire coaching career. Lost the year before for almost the same exact reason.
Do we know how many minutes per game we averaged with those 3 on the floor together?
At most we could have played them together maybe 20mpg (due to only having 1 other guard, and Rob's foul problem). More importantly, we should have had at least 2 of those 3 shooters on the floor at all times.
The NBA hates age so you have to eliminate most or all of the other question marks.
Antonio isn't a plus NBA athlete, his defense is just okay, and he isn't a big or particularly marketable personality so he gets dinged.
If he was 20 he'd probably have been taken over Knect because of upside potential but probably should be looked at at least similarly anyway as no strong arguments spring to mind that it is dramatically otherwise other than Tennessee depended on him more.
Agree! Is Justin Edwards really gonna go before Reeves?
That would absolutely be disgusting, and I hope Justin is publicly shamed for the rest of his career if that happens. Disgusting. Calipari is disgusting.
Edwards looked to be next best, Lol he just dropped back to two again with 44 pick coming up
