2:10 That was a called foul on Juju what I recall. He hit the shooter on his elbow
Wesley is a good defender but poised for a breakout hel no! On offense with his speed, he never attacks the rim. Wesley Will take two or three dribble, then pass it. He's a nobody, so he's not being scouted at all because teams will stay home if Wesley got the ball, then you can foul him because he's like 50% from the free throw line. Wesley get rid of the ball so quickly you can't see his offensive deficiency as a point guard. He will be a offensive liability in a playoffs setting and he's a point guard. Where's the playing time. When Vesell gets back you got 3 point guards ahead of him. You can't put him in a shooting guard because he dont have no outside shot at all.
Against the general opinion, I always say that for me there are 4 players that the Spurs should consider indispensable for their long-term project: Wemby, Vassell, Castle and Wesley. Yes, Blake Wesley for me has a much higher defensive potential than Jeremy Sochan. I see Wesley becoming a Jaden McDaniels. The kid has a monumental future in the NBA.
If he can finish better at the rim, and either find a mid-range game OR at least improve his 3 point shot, he can be valuable off the bench. He has all the tools to be special on defense.
People who watch the spurs last year in some go the final minute grind games know that this isn’t new for Blake Wesley.Always has energy on high and never turns it off.
Good video. Appreciating the slow mo breakdown
His length and speed is insane. If he embraces the „play defense to get minutes“ mentality, we might have something real good here.
goodbye branham😥
Blake is a keeper and the Spurs will p/u his option this year b/c he is a future b/u PG to Castle. CP3 won't be around and Jones & Branham will be traded.
Mans got hustle
