Blake Wesley

Draft Notes

Blake Wesley is a star in the making. He wasn’t the most heralded recruit coming out of high school but is having a big impact at Notre Dame and looking the part of a future NBA draft pick with lottery potential.

Wesley has great size and a NBA worthy frame. He’s agile, quick and has the ability to penetrate into the lane, using his great burst and solid ball handling abilities. He’s got a nice in-between game and nice touch in the lane and from mid range.

Wesley has room for improvement as a playmaker/facilitator. Right now he’s wired to score the ball – and does so at a high level. He also has a lot of work to do as a shooter and it is likely going to take him a few years before he becomes much of a 3pt threat the next level.

Although his game is raw and unrefined it’s incredibly rare to find an athlete of his caliber who has the ability to take over a game with his blow-by speed and ability to penetrate. Even by NBA standards he’s an elite athlete.
