Draft Profile: Blake Wesley

Whether he was operating in transition or in the half-court, the thing that stood out (to me) most about Wesley’s game was his ability to get to the rim. He’s got the truly elite first step with an excellent acceleration, long strides and top-flight speed to put pressure on the rim and bend defenses.

Defensive Versatility:

Of course, this helps with a good physical profile: 6-foot-5 with a 6-foot-9 wing span. But Wesley flashed the potential to guard 1 thru 3 at the collegiate level; he was a very good on- and off-ball defender and was very engaged at the end of the floor — which the Heat brain trust would love.
