Kowacie Reeves - Scores 20 points Reeves notched 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 82-48 victory over Ohio.
Impact Despite being a backup, Reeves was the Gators' best scorer Wednesday. Their starting lineup could use his prowess. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if Reeves is a part of the Gators' starting lineup again. The sophomore averaged 10.4 points in between Nov. 7 and Dec. 14.

Will Richard - Unimpressive across 21 minutes Richard provided three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 82-48 win over Ohio.
Impact Barely playing more than one half, Richard recorded his worst log across eight games he has started during the NCAA's 2022-23 season. The forward will have sufficient opportunities to redeem himself though.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Lofton - Records seven assists Lofton closed Wednesday's 82-48 win over Ohio with 15 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and seven assists in 25 minutes.
Impact Lofton logged his best assist tally across eight games he started in between Nov. 7 and Dec. 14. He averaged 4.1 assists during the eight-start span. Despite the rate being smaller compared to what is expected of him, Lofton will have many showcase opportunities.

Kyle Lofton - Returns to starting five Lofton is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Ohio, Chris Harry of FloridaGators.com reports.
