From an unranked recruit out of high school to being selected in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, Antonio Reeves didn’t take the “traditional” route to begin his basketball career — not traditional by Kentucky’s standards, at least. The 6-foot-5 guard improved and developed his game throughout all five seasons in college — three at Illinois State and the final two in Lexington. Reeves averaged 7.2 points per game as a freshman in 2019-20 and topped off his college career by making multiple All-American Teams in 2023-24. When you think of success stories in college basketball, he’s an ex...

Antonio Reeves is headed to NOLA. During the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft on Thursday afternoon in New York, Reeves was selected with the No. 47th overall pick by the New Orleans Pelicans. The Orlando Magic originally held this pick but traded it to New Orleans, per reports. He is the third former Wildcat to hear his name called by Commissioner Adam Silver, joining Reed Sheppard (No. 3 overall to the Houston Rockets) and Rob Dillingham (No. 8 overall to the Minnesota Timberwolves). Reeves becomes the 50th player drafted from Kentucky during the John Calipari era and the 141st overall pla...

The 2024 NBA Draft is nearly upon us. Later tonight and continuing on Thursday afternoon, a quartet of former Kentucky players will hope to hear their names called and begin their professional basketball careers. Just how high will Reed Sheppard go? Is Rob Dillingham‘s stock actually slipping? Can Antonio Reeves sneak his way into the first round? Where exactly will Justin Edwards land? All of those questions will be answered very soon. The first round of the draft is being held tonight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY where Sheppard and Dillingham will be in the Green Room waiting for t...

They’re the only two former Wildcats invited to the green room and expected to be drafted tonight, so F...

Some good news and bad news, Big Blue Nation. The good news: The three best outside shooters going into the 2024 NBA Draft (set for June 26-27) all played for the Kentucky Wildcats this past season. According to CBB Analytics, Reed Sheppard (52.1 percent), Antonio Reeves (44.7 percent), and Rob Dillingham (44.4 percent) make up the top three of this year’s draft-eligible prospects who attempted at least two shots from deep per game. That’s pretty damn impressive. The bad news: Kentucky won a grand total of zero postseason games with them on the roster. That’s pretty damn annoying. When the fir...

Kentucky is expected to have — at a minimum — two former players taken in next week’s 2024 NBA Draft in New York. Could another name or two (or three) sneak their way into the field? On Friday afternoon, ESPN draft experts Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo published their updated Top 100 prospects list for the upcoming Draft. The usual suspects, freshmen guards Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham, cracked the Top 10, with freshmen wing Justin Edwards and fifth-year guard Antonio Reeves positioned to hear their names called by Commissioner Adam Silver sometime in the second round. Additionally, fifth...

Another day, another mock draft… We’re now under a week away from the start of the 2024 NBA Draft (June 26-27) in New York. On Wednesday, we saw the folks at ESPN drop their latest projections. This time around, The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie has updated his two-round mock, where he has four former Kentucky Wildcats projected to hear their names called on draft night(s). Similar to ESPN, Vecenie is high on Reed Sheppard, hesitant about Rob Dillingham, intrigued by Antonio Reeves, and souring on Justin Edwards. Here is where he has all four ‘Cats landing. No. 3 | Reed Sheppard –> Houston Rockets (v...

The 78th NBA Draft is now just one week away. From June 26-27 in New York, a handful of former Kentucky Wildcats will begin their professional dreams. But which city will they start in? On Wednesday morning, ESPN draft experts Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo updated their latest Mock Draft for all 58 picks in this year’s event. As has been the case for months now, they have a pair of Kentucky freshmen guards (yes, the ones who came off the bench all season) going among the Top 10. Additionally, ESPN expects two more Wildcats to hear their names called sometime in the second round. No. 3 | Reed ...

Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham are all but guaranteed to land in the lottery of the 2024 NBA Draft — something we’ve known for months now. With roughly three weeks remaining until the two-day draft, the talented Kentucky guards continue to hold firm as projected Top 10 or better picks. Sheppard is even being whispered about as a possible Top 5 selection. The real mystery of the draft for the Big Blue Nation, though, will be the landing spots of Justin Edwards and Antonio Reeves. Edwards is a borderline first-round pick while Reeves’ rising stock has him firmly in the mix for a second-round p...

The Draft Combine has officially wrapped up, but the pre-draft process is only just beginning. With a little over a month until the 2024 NBA Draft in Brooklyn, there is still plenty of time left for draft hopefuls to make a case to all 30 franchises. A couple of players with Kentucky connections still have some room to improve if they intend to hear their names called on Draft Night. On Friday morning, ESPN draft experts Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo unveiled an updated Top 100 rankings list for all players currently going through the draft process. As has been the case for several months now...
