This is the highest scoring average per game by any player in the Calipari era. He is the only Power 5 player averaging at least 1.5 made 3-pointers and tallying 49% from the field, 43.5% from the three-point range and 86.5% from the charity stripe.

Reeves and Reed Sheppard were also named to the All-Southeastern Conference teams by the Associated Press. Reeves was picked to the first team, and Sheppard earned a spot on the second team.
