Quinnipiac forward Alexis Reyes is going pro.
The 6-foot-7 senior will continue his basketball career overseas, being selected with the seventh overall pick in the 2025 Liga Nacional de Baloncesto (LNB) Draft.
The Roxbury, Massachusetts native will join former Bobcats like Matt Balanc — who graduated in 2024 — in taking their basketball careers overseas.
Prior to being drafted, Reyes spent three years at Quinnipiac as a key rotational player, helping the Bobcats secure back-to-back No. 1 seeds in the MAAC.
During his time at Quinnipiac, Reyes scored 522 points, grabbed 331 rebounds and dished out 120 assists. In his senior year, the forward averaged 5.9 PPG, 4.5 RPG and 2.1 APG.
“Lex is just one of those glue guys,” head coach Tom Pecora said Feb. 6. “He can pass the ball. He can rebound the ball, he makes good decisions … he’s just a calming force out there. He makes really good decisions for you, and that’s important in any sport, on any team you know, just to have that guy that you know is going to be steady all the time.”
Not every player wants to do the dirty work, or be known as the “glue guy”. Despite that, Reyes is proud of sacrificing personal stats for the better of the team..
“I take big pride in doing the things that people don’t really want to do,” Reyes said Feb. 6. “I grew up like that, the extra pass, whether the rebound kick, or whether playing hard, guarding a great player …(like a) swiss army knife, just doing things that not everyone wants to do.”
