Spurs draftee Blake Wesley: 'I model my game after Jordan Poole and Caris LeVert'
Just last week, Blake Wesley was drafted No. 25 overall in the NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs. A strong downhill guard who can get to the rim, his game has a lot of Donovan Mitchell to it with his explosive first step.
Listed at 6-foot-5, his near 7-foot wingspan gives him the ability to overmatch opposing backcourt players. His rudimentary defensive prowess is already there, so he should not have trouble getting minutes sooner rather than later, especially with Dejounte Murray traded away from San Antonio.
On the same day his hometown of South Bend named June 30 the Jaden Ivey and Blake Wesley Day, Wesley spoke with HoopsHype about what it was like to get the NBA draft green room invite, his quiet nature, and his comparisons to Jordan Poole.
