Reeves’s scoring is almost entirely predicated on his off-ball movement. While he’s excellent at running off screens and handoffs to then set up on-ball opportunities, he’s rarely going to initiate the offense or act as an on-ball scorer. On the most basic level, Reeves is one of the best spot-up shooters in this class. He ranks in the 93rd percentile spotting up, scoring 1.211 PPP and shooting 45.7% from three, while also ranking in the 95th percentile shooting off the catch scoring 1.36 PPP and shooting 46% from three. Additionally, Reeves is currently scoring 1.353 PPP overall in transition (89th percentile) while shooting 51% from three, 1.087 PPP off screens (74th percentile), and 1.061 PPP on handoffs (77th percentile).

Despite being known as a shooter, Reeves is highly adept at attacking the rim and scoring on the interior. So far, he is scoring 1.144 PPP on 97 drives (just over 19% of his total possessions). For comparison, Dalton Knecht is at 0.921 PPP on 76 drives (13.3%), Kevin McCullar is at 0.52 on 50 drives (14.4%), and Hunter Sallis is at 0.991 on 116 drives (23.1%).

With his ability to attack closeouts or launch off the catch, Reeves could be an ideal outlet for primary creators in the NBA. He has a good sense of spacing and knows how to find open pockets consistently. Whether it’s off a cut or capitalizing on a broken play, Reeves’s off-ball scoring versatility makes him an easy plug and play option in the NBA.

Reeves is currently scoring 1.23 PPP (68th percentile) while shooting 61.3% at the rim as well as scoring 1.07 PPP (88th percentile) while shooting 53.3% on floaters. Reeves also ranks in the 97th percentile in frequency on floaters, so his efficiency isn’t inflated by a small sample size. While the bulk of his interior scoring opportunities will come from attacking closeouts, he’s also proving that he can be put in motion and have actions run for him to exploit the defense in all three levels.

A 6’6” wing that is wired to score the basketball. Highly efficient. 51.2 FG%, 44.7 3P, 86.3 FT% shooting split, one of the best in college … Averaged 20 points per game for two different teams (Illinois States and Kentucky). Shot 39% from three each of his past three seasons, culminating in 44% from deep his final season on 5.7 attempts per contest. Has good footwork on the catch – does a good job of getting his feet under him and ready to elevate for his jumper. Can create open looks for jumpers with his step back. Has added a lethal runner that he uses when defenders run him off the three point line. Is able to score reliably at three different levels. Is able to absorb contact at the rim and knocks down his free throws at a high rate -86.3% this season. Has good, although not elite, body control when attacking the rim and the strength to finish tough close range shots. Has developed a solid euro step and shown the ability to mix up his speeds on drives to create open shot angles. Showed significant growth defensively in terms of competitiveness on that end as well as taking more responsibility on that end of the court.

All of them are high 30's/low 40's 3pt shooters and 80-ish% FT shooters.
