Watching Blake’s film, it seems that the game of basketball comes easy to him. A rangy 6’2” shooting guard that impacts the game in both ends of the floor. As a defender, he’s aggressive on the ball looking to use his wingspan to poke the ball away. He’s aggressive in passing lanes looking to find easy buckets in transition. Moves his feet well and sits down and guards without fouling. Offensively he’s a natural bucket getter that is smooth as silk. Patient with the ball in his hands, he takes what the defense gives him. Comfortable on or off the ball, he’s dynamic with his scoring ability and I came to find that his playmaking ability for others is underrated. High level three-point shooter with a smooth, quick release that showed once he gets hot, he can bury teams in a hurry. Also effective in ball screens. He’s a high IQ player that understands his angles. Showed a soft touch when getting in the lane with a floater and finishes around the basket with both hands.
