Antonio Reeves turned into a prolific scorer for Kentucky last season and is being counted on to be an even better scoring threat from 3-point range this season after returning to UK for his fifth season of college basketball.
Reeves put his name into the NBA draft and learned something that might surprise UK fans.
“Defense. I definitely learned a lot when I was traveling, how important defense was,” Reeves said. “I definitely try to emphasize that every time I step on the floor here. Just being a dog.”
He said he found out more about the importance of “all parts” of defense including being in the right position at all times.
“I feel like my on-ball defense is pretty good, it’s just when I get off the ball, sometimes I would be lolly-gagging, and that’s important if you just make sure to stay in the right spot,” he said.
