Impact The 6-0 sophomore is getting heavy minutes with Dedan Thomas (foot) out. He has scored in double digits in consecutive times for the first time and has hit five 3-pointers in the games.

Impact The Tigers are going to lean on the 6-0 freshman with Dedan Thomas (foot) out for the season and Max Mackinnon (knee) out for the time being. Reece had one of his better shooting games as LSU lost for the third straight time. He scored in double digits for the third time this season.

The 6-2 freshman has racked up 13 assists in two games as a started, but has only scored six points on 3-of-13 (23.1 percent) from the field. The Tigers had more turnovers than assists (14:12).

Starts, deals seven assists Reece provided four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, seven assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 75-72 loss to Texas A&M.

Impact The 6-0 freshman started for Dedan Thomas (foot) and set up the offense nicely. His shooting left something to be desired, but the numbers were in line with the rest of his first season in Baton Rouge. Reece is converting just 35.4 percent on field goals and 15.8 percent from long range. If Thomas remains out, Reece could be looked at as an assist-only add.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 13, deals six assists Reece notched 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 20 minutes during Saturday's 96-63 win over DePaul.

Impact The 6-0 freshman had his best game of the season. Because of the blowout nature of the game, Reece was able to play more minutes and showed off some of his skills. His previous high in points was eight and assists was four. Reece is a quality backup point guard, but will be limited as long as Dedan Thomas is starting at point guard.
