ANALYSIS
Reeves is one of the players who has been embracing a more significant role on offense in a depleted Pelicans roster, and the second-round pick of the 2024 NBA Draft has been making the most of the opportunity.

Strikes for 16 in first NBA start
Reeves ended Sunday's 98-94 victory over the Hornets with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Making his first career start with CJ McCollum (foot) sidelined, Reeves was able to make an impact from three-point range. The rookie guard has seen his workload increase dramatically in the last week in the Pelicans' injury-ravaged backcourt, and over the last three games he's averaged 23.7 minutes while producing 12.7 points, 3.0 threes, 2.3 boards and 1.3 assists. With Dejounte Murray (Achilles), Trey Murphy (shoulder) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) all done for the rest of the season, Reeves should see enough court time down the stretch to have some DFS appeal.
Mar 30, 2025
Making first NBA start Sunday
Reeves is in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Hornets on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie second-round pick out of Kentucky has seen his playing time off the bench increase as of late, and he'll be in the starting lineup Sunday for the first time in his NBA career. Reeves has appeared in 36 games for the Pelicans this season and is averaging 4.8 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists over 11.1 minutes per game.
Mar 25, 2025
Drains five threes in Monday's win
Reeves recorded 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 24 minutes off the bench during Monday's 112-99 victory over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
The five treys were a career high for the rookie guard, who got some extended run after Jordan Hawkins (ankle) was forced from the contest in the third quarter. Reeves could take on a more consistent role in the Pelicans' backcourt in Hawkins' injury proves to be serious, and he's scored in double digits with multiple three-pointers each of the last three times he's played 20-plus minutes in a game.
Mar 9, 2025
Will be available Sunday
New Orleans recalled Reeves from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Sunday.

Feb 13, 2025
Sticks in rotation Wednesday
Reeves ended Wednesday's 119-111 loss to Sacramento with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 18 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reeves remained in the rotation, playing at least 15 minutes for the third straight game. After barely playing to begin his career, it appears as though the Pelicans have decided to at least give him an opportunity to experience the NBA up close. Having now lost 10 straight games, it makes sense for them to lean into their youth, with one eye on the future.
Feb 2, 2025
Rejoins parent club Saturday
The Pelicans recalled Reeves from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Reeves will rejoin the parent club ahead of its matchup against the Nuggets on Monday. Despite being a member of the Pelicans' 15-man roster, the 24-year-old has seen little playing time at the NBA level of late, though he could crack the rotation with Dejounte Murray (Achilles) on the shelf for the rest of the year.
Jan 25, 2025
Returns to parent club
The Pelicans have recalled Reeves from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Reeves has gone back and forth between the Pelicans and Squadron all season long and will potentially get another shot to prove his worth on the NBA level with New Orleans. In 17 games with the Pelicans, the 24-year-old has averaged 4.7 points and 1.1 rebounds per game in 9.1 minutes per contest.
Jan 13, 2025
Recalled to NBA
The Pelicans recalled Reeves from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Reeves has been dominant in limited G League action, scoring 27.5 points per game. He's been used sparingly at the NBA level, however, averaging 9.1 minutes across 17 appearances.
Dec 8, 2024
Recalled by Pelicans
The Pelicans recalled Reeves from the G League's Birmingham Squadrons on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Reeves appeared in two games for the Squadrons and averaged 25.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists over 39.6 minutes per contest over that span. He'll be available to play Sunday against the Kings, and he see some meaningful playing time off the bench due to Brandon Ingram (ankle) being ruled out indefinitely.
Nov 20, 2024
Career outing in 30-point outburst
Reeves produced 34 points (14-25 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Reeves led all players in Wednesday's contest on the offensive end, connecting on a team-best mark from three while concluding as the lone player in the contest with at least 30 points in a losing effort. Reeves set new career highs in threes made and points scored, now having tallied at least two threes in two straight outings.
Nov 20, 2024
Scores career-high nine points
Reeves amassed nine points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) over seven minutes during Tuesday's 132-91 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Reeves finished with a career-high nine points as the Pelicans continue to turn to basically anyone on the roster for production. To this point, Reeves has played the majority of his minutes during garbage time, something that is happening with regularity for the undermanned Pelicans outfit. As soon as they start to get healthy, Reeves will likely move out of the rotation.
Oct 31, 2024
Returns to Pelicans
Reeves was recalled from the Birmingham Squadron on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Reeves was assigned to the Pelicans' G League affiliate on Monday, but he'll return to the NBA club ahead of Friday's matchup with the Pacers as the team is managing a number of injuries to the backcourt. Reeves could see playing time behind Jose Alvarado at point guard with CJ McCollum (thigh) already ruled out for Friday's game.
Jun 27, 2024
Headed to New Orleans
Reeves was drafted by the Pelicans with the No. 47 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Reeves spent the final two seasons of his collegiate career at Kentucky before declaring for the NBA Draft. In 2023-24, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 20.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 33 games. Reeves's greatest strength is his outside shot, which he displayed by converting 44.7 percent of his 5.7 three-point attempts per contest last year.
