NBA Draft: Nick Smith Jr. Could Give Thunder High-Octane OffenseNick Smith Jr.’s ability to score in a myriad of ways projects to pair well with the Oklahoma City Thunder’s up-and-coming young talent.
Makhel Mitchell - Wrangles five boards in startMitchell ended Saturday's 88-79 loss to Kentucky with zero points (0-5 FG) and five rebounds across 15 minutes.
ImpactMitchell was not able to convert any of his field-goal attempts after being promoted back into the starting lineup for Saturday's regular-season finale. However, the 6-foot-10 senior did come through as the Razorbacks' third-leading rebounder despite playing the fewest minutes among the team's starting rotation Saturday. Across 25 appearances in the 2022-23 regular season, Mitchell averaged 4.2 points and 3.7 rebounds while playing 14.2 minutes per game. It's likely he'll revert to his role as a primary reserve behind starting center Makhi Mitchell when Arkansas faces Auburn in the SEC Tournament this coming Thursday.

Antonio Reeves - Scores 37 pointsReeves finished with 37 points (12-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 11-11 FT), one rebound and two assists across 40 minutes during Saturday's 88-79 victory over Arkansas.
ImpactReeves was part of the Wildcats' starting lineup all but one of their games played from Feb. 11 to March 4. He averaged 18.6 points on a 56.6 true shooting percentage. Even if Sahvir Wheeler or Cason Wallace are available again during March Madness, it will be difficult not to have Reeves part of Kentucky's starting lineup when the senior continues to excel as a scorer.

Chris Livingston - One point, nine reboundsLivingston accumulated one point (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 88-79 win over Arkansas.
ImpactLivingston failed to score multiple points despite attempting five field goals and four free throws. Fortunately for him, Arkansas also missed many shots, which allowed the 6-foot-6 forward to be only one rebound short of a double-digit board tally.
