Reeves ranks among the most celebrated college basketball players of his era, as well as Oklahoma State history.

Along with standout guard Randy Rutherford and head coach Eddie Sutton, Reeves helped lead OSU to the 1995 Final Four in Seattle. That season, he scored a school record 797 points (21.5 per game) and was named the Big Eight Most Valuable Player and the Big Eight Tournament MVP.
The Vancouver Grizzlies selected Reeves with the sixth pick of the 1995 NBA Draft, and was an All-Rookie Second Team selection in 1996. He played six seasons with the organization, and averaged 12.5 points and 6.9 rebounds per game over his career.
On top of Bryant's induction, this year's Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame class includes Oklahoma quarterback Jason White, Olympic wrestling gold medalist Doug Blubaugh, Olympic decathlete Jeff Bennett, pro baseball player Bill Greason and college wrestling coach David James.
