Blake Bergstrom is a pure shooter for Pack 16u. Despite often being the smallest player on the floor, Blake makes a big impact by constantly moving without the ball, and torching you from three when you lose track of him. Playing alongside a talented playmaker in Khaliq Austin, Blake does a nice job of providing angles for kickout passes when he’s drawing in extra defenders, making him an easy target. Blake rarely misses when left in space, and he was a big reason why Pack broke the 100 point mark on Sunday against Wisconsin Academy .

Blake had the single-best shooting performance I have seen this weekend, as the 5’10” guard could not miss for Pack. He started off knocking down a couple threes off the catch, then started to heat up, looking for his shot whenever he got the ball. He was pulling up off the dribble from well beyond the three-point line and even sunk a heat check pull-up one-legged three. Berstrom is also a great ball handling option and looked good creating for his teammates.
