Blood has a very unique game. The 5-foot-10 guard has great quickness and an ambidextrous nature to his finishes and ball-handling ability, which makes him difficult to force in either direction. And, though he has a wonky outside shot, he made threes at a high clip when I attended this week’s open gym. Defensively, Blood uses his quickness and hands to stymie defenders and wreak havoc. The jury is out on how many minutes the freshman gets this season, but the future is extremely bright.

Blood is an intriguing young player who’s only entering his freshman year of high school but already plays at the rim and is only 5-foot-10. The combo-guard is a relentless rim attacker who is equally effective with his left and right hand and isn’t afraid to take contact or throw himself into the teeth of the defense. From the outside, he has the ability to get hot, but his release is unique and the rotation on his ball isn’t ideal—it doesn’t matter if you make it, though. Blood also defends his behind off and does an amazing job using his hands to get steals. He has so much time to improve his shot and general game, but I could see him playing spot minutes at Beaver this year, which he should be super proud of.
