He hit just 39.8 percent of his field goals, but managed to score in double digits seven times. The starting experience could help Reece in 2026-27.

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. In leagues with a freshman-requirement, Reece could be a decent add as fantasy tournaments begin. He will get playing time going forward.

Scores 15 in 40 minutes Reece had 15 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and four assists over 40 minutes during Saturday's 73-63 loss to Tennessee.

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. Reece might be a speculative add in deeper leagues: he is going to get playing time.

Comes off bench, scores 11 Reece notched 11 points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 75-74 loss to Kentucky.

Impact Reece had been starting since Dedan Thomas (foot) had been out.

He continues to struggle from the field and has converted just 24.1 percent of his shots against SEC opponents. The Tigers will go for their first conference win against Missouri on Saturday.

Not starting vs. Kentucky Reece isn't starting against Kentucky on Wednesday, per Glen West of 247Sports.com.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles as starter Reece posted two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and six assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 78-68 loss to South Carolina.

Impact Reece is getting an opportunity to start with Dedan Thomas (foot) out. 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). If Thomas can't return Saturday against Vanderbilt, Reece will likely start again.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.
