In town for the 2019 John Calipari Draft Academy, former Kentucky forward Reid Travis walked into the Joe Craft Training Facility with quite the smile on his face on Thursday morning. Marker in hand, the 6-foot-9 big man shuffled up to UK’s imitation Rupp Arena floor scattered with the signatures of former players and added his name smack dab in the middle of the post on the right side of the court.
Why? It’s where Travis picked up the majority of his 11.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per contest in his time at Kentucky.
“I think I spent a lot of time down there, a lot of our plays came from low pin-downs, me kind of going around and posting up on that spot,” he said on Thursday.
