We should be starting Wesley over Trey. Would be great for his development

Someone needs to fix Wes’ shot

I have been thoroughly impressed with Blake’s development lately. I was ready to cut him from the team at the beginning of the season but then he just became good. I wish more young players would focus on defense first and then let their offense develop.

Nah. I think Blake might never become as good or half as good as DJ was, but I think where he has an edge is that he’s got a good head in his shoulders. He goes out there and works his ass off but without that entitlement or drama. I’d love it if he can be half as good as DJ on offense and still maintain his D. Best case scenario though, is that he’d develop into a speedier DJ without the baggage.

They can all improve their shot. It’s literally life and death of their career. 40% from 3 you are gonna make a nice career if you can handle the ball and play defence you’re making bank

At a home game a few weeks ago (we had like 8 in 2 weeks so they kind of run together) Blake got stuffed by the rim 3 times in one game. It was incredible. I had kind of written him off at that point. However, the last few games he is coming around some. Whole lotta assists.

I followed Wesley quite a bit at Notre Dame and have been begging people to be very patient with him. He was extremely raw even in college and was always going to be a guy that took a year or two to get his footing. But now that he’s starting to get his sea legs so to speak, you can definitely see some of the comparisons and some of the similarities between early DJ and Blake.
I think a lot of fans on here forget just how insanely raw, and not particularly his first year and a half or so. Watching him get to the rim and brick lay up after layup after layup was pretty painful. Not to mention all the times he would get his pocket picked on his Hi dribble.
But just like Wesley from day one you could see he was a special blend of twitchy athleticism and length. I actually think Blake is even a better athlete than DJ, and both of them had equally broken jump shots.
DJ was probably a naturally better score as far as mentality is concerned, and Wesley probably a bit of a more natural playmaker
I’m not saying Wesley will become as good as DJ, his improvement was not normal and definitely an outlier from where he was his first year. But it’s definitely very encouraging to see

What? One has seriously failed to comprehend how great Wesley is going to be. This young man has been a ruthless all ball defender since the day he was born. But his mentality is what you should observe: it’s like he has this overwhelming passion inside him to give it his all whether he’s playing in garbage time or when it’s one of the only two games he’s started for SAS. Offensively, there is outrageous potential. Wesley’s ceiling is the great Paul George but he may be able to surpass even him with the right development (which we have).
