Amaree Abram and Kowacie Reeves listed as two of ACC"s top transfers for 2023-2024

Abram and Reeves joined Georgia Tech this offseason

Not many teams have been as active as Georgia Tech has been in the transfer portal this offseason under first-year head coach Damon Stoudamire. 

Stoudamire has brought in six transfers while also having a large amount of last year's team enter the portal. This is going to be a new-look team when the season starts and Stoudamire tries to bring Georgia Tech back to winning. 

So which transfers are going to be the best this season? 247Sports analyst Kevin Flaherty has Abram and Reeves as two of the ten best transfers coming into the ACC this season. 

Flaherty ranked the top ten transfers in the ACC entering this season and Abram comes in at No. 5 while Reeves is No. 7.

Here is what Flaherty had to say about both additions for the Yellow Jackets:

"The No. 39 transfer arrived at Ole Miss as the No. 65 recruit in the 2022 class, then averaged a solid eight points and two assists per game while starting 22 of the 33 games he played in and logging 21.0 minutes per contest. It’s not unusual to see a player take a step forward as a shooter in his second college season, and Abram already made a solid 36.4% of his 3-point attempts on more than six outside shots per 40 minutes. That kind of shooting could come in handy for first-year Georgia Tech coach Damon Stoudamire, who knows a thing or two about the importance of making shots from deep.

Reeves arrived at Florida with a sterling reputation as a wing shooter enforced by his recruiting ranking as the No. 31 player in the 2021 class. And while that didn’t play out at Florida, with Reeves making 2.5 3-pointers per 40 minutes but only shooting 29.2% from deep over his two seasons, that’s what Georgia Tech will hope Reeves is able to tap into. The No. 45 overall player in the transfer portal, Reeves has 17 starts over the last two years and set career highs in points (8.5 per game) and rebounds (2.6 per game) last year. Don’t be surprised if Reeves is a transfer who performs better at his new home than he did at his previous stop."

Stoudamire made an appearance on the College Hoops Today podcast and said he thought Abram and Reeves would be two instant impact players: 

"I think that Amaree Abram will do well, I really like him. He is a shifty guard and able to make open shots and as crazy as that sounds, he is a great playmaker. One of the things that I always think about and I know he only averaged eight points at Ole Miss, but I was really surprised at the way he could shoot catch and shoot and that is one of the things that I love about him, he can play with it or he can play without it. I think that he is going to have a big, big impact.

But honestly, I think all of the guys that we added, I brought in length, I wanted long guys, I wanted athletic guys, I wanted three and D type of guys so I think that Kowacie Reeves will make an impact as well. I really like his athleticism, I love his energy and I think his ability to keep improving on his three-point shot. I think those two will make an impact out the gate."

Abram and Reeves make up a part of Georgia Tech's 17th-ranked recruiting class and both guys seem like they are going to be in for huge roles this season and if they can make a big impact, that should make Georgia Tech an interesting team this season.
