Reed Selected No. 32 by Phoenix Suns

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Senior guard Davon Reed of the University of Miami men’s basketball team was selected No. 32 overall by the Phoenix Suns in the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft Thursday night at the Barclays Center live on ESPN.

“Davon Reed is a winner. He is physically, mentally and emotionally ready to contribute at the NBA level. He has the size and the skill with great intelligence to be an immediate contributor,” seventh-year head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “We are so proud of him because he is the perfect role model for what our program is all about: a player who just continues to improve.”

Reed became the 20th Hurricane in program history to be chosen in the NBA Draft and the first player since 2013, when Shane Larkin was picked by the Atlanta Hawks 18th overall (first round).

The 6-foot-6-inch guard concluded his four-year Miami career with 1,343 points, good for No. 16 on the Hurricanes’ all-time scoring list. He also is No. 5 in 3-point field goal percentage (39.5%) and No. 7 in 3-point field goals made (202).

Reed started 99 of 131 games played, averaging 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.4 blocks in 28.1 minutes. He hit 43.0 percent (438-1018) from the field, 39.5 percent (202-512) from three and 77.7 percent (265-341) from the line in his career.

At the end of his senior campaign, Reed was named to both the All-ACC Third Team and All-Defensive Team, as he helped lead the Hurricanes to their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.

A native of Ewing, N.J., Reed was the 2017 Skip Prosser Award winner, honoring the Atlantic Coast Conference’s top men’s basketball scholar-athlete. He was also on the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team and is an ACC Postgraduate Scholarship honoree.
