π Antonio “3-Pointer” Reeves Dribbles Back from NBA Draft – College Hoops or New Team? π€·ββοΈ
TL:DR;
Antonio Reeves, the three-point ace from the Kentucky Wildcats, is stepping back from the NBA Draft to return to college basketball. But, like a basketball on a hardwood court, he’s still bouncing between options – will he stay with the Wildcats or test out new waters? π€π¦
Shots, rebounds, and assists; it’s all in a day’s work for Antonio Reeves, the man with a ball and a dream. But this time, he’s making a different kind of shot, withdrawing from the 2023 NBA Draft and heading back to the college basketball court for the 2023-24 season. So, is this a strategic swish or a missed dunk? πβΉοΈββοΈ
According to Reeves’ pops, school’s back in session for his son, who’ll be returning to college. But wait, before we start prepping the Wildcats’ welcome back party, the jury’s still out on where he’ll play next season. While he needs to take a few more classes to graduate and be eligible for a ‘grad transfer’, Antonioβs future team is as uncertain as a ref’s call in the last second of a tie game. ππ
But hey, let’s talk numbers here. For those who’ve been living under a basketball-sized rock, Antonio is not your average Joe on the court. This Chicago native knocked down an impressive 14.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game in his senior year. Also, did we mention that he hit a team-high 80 3-pointers and racked up 20+ points in four of his last six games? ππ₯
And remember that spectacular night against the Arkansas Razorbacks, when he scored a whopping 37 points? That performance could easily make a grown Razorback weep! For his on-court exploits, Reeves bagged the SEC Co-Sixth Man of the Year honors. But after the season, Reeves opted to test the NBA waters. However, it seems that he’s chosen to return to the collegiate sea, despite possibly having more NIL money and a guaranteed role waiting at another school. π π°
So here we are, caught in this thrilling half-court suspense, waiting to see where Antonio will take his next shot. Will he stay with the Wildcats, or are we about to witness a buzzer-beater transfer to a new team? Only time and Antonio’s decision will tell.
So, while we wait (again), what do you think? Is Antonio’s choice to step back from the NBA and into the college court a power move, or is he just playing it safe? And more importantly, which team should he choose for the upcoming season? Let’s hear your takes! ποΈπ
