Kowacie Reeves (Georgia Tech)
As our second Yellow Jacket to make the list, Kowacie Reeves is proof positive that Georgia Tech is making every effort to compete next year. The former Florida wing had a hard time finding minutes in a crowded Gator rotation, but at 6’6″ and with superb athleticism, that won’t be the case in his new home.
A Georgia native, Reeves was a four-star recruit coming into college. His highlight reel of dunks while at Florida is eye-popping (seriously, stop what you’re doing and go watch that), but his shooting, especially from deep, needs work. Last year Reeves shot only 26.2% from behind the arc, but the hope is that he can improve that under the tutelage of Georgia Tech’s new head coach, Damon Stoudamire.
Reeves will already turn heads with his high-flying dunks and flashy hairstyles, but if he can find the form that saw 247 Sports call him a top-notch shooter coming out of high school, he can become a major contributor for one of the most exciting young teams in the ACC.
