Antonio Blakeney hasn't lived up to the hype....plain and simple

Stat line last three games...
5-13 from the field and 0-6 from the 3.
4-17 from the field and 3-11 from the 3.
0-9 from the field and 0-4 from the 3.
Bench him and start Josh Gray. Josh at times we all know has played out of control, however he's our only aggressive player right now. I'd rather take my risks with him than continue to watch Blakeney throw up bricks.

I disagree. Blakeney is struggling for sure, but we need him to find it if we're going to go anywhere this year.

Cannot believe how bad blakeney has been

Josh gray is not the answer

benching him is not an option but I do agree he has underachieved

Have watched him play in several "big" games here in Orlandeaux. I know college is another level and sometimes the talent does not translate, but this kid DOES have the talent. It's early, and quite frankly NONE of the players are "living up to the hype."

5 games into his college career. Get a grip. There are going to be some growing pains. He can flat out play...........

I said after watching the very first game that I thought Sampson should start over Blakeney. Also that if you didn't know who was who you would think Sampson was the star recruit and Blakeney was the mid level one.
that's been the biggest surprise for me with both Blakeney and Simmons that I didn't know about their games until now was that they are such poor jump shooters. In fact I thought just the opposite. Granted I don't follow the details of basketball recruiting all that close

He is shooting way too many 3s. He isn't really attacking like I thought he would be. Leave the 3s to Sampson and start attacking the basket.

If only we had a senior Guard who scores, shoots the 3 ball really well, and hustles his arse off who hasn't played yet this season due to injury...

Everyone has shot poorly these last 3 games, not just Blakeney.
And like people have said, Simmons, Blakeney, and Sampson are true freshman. They are very skilled with a lot of talent, just need time to grow.
It'll be ok.

Good news is he's not one and done
Posted on 12/4/15 at 10:14 am to basiletiger
You should start calling him Antonio Brickeney. That'll help things.

Don't disagree with the move, but this kid will emerge in the coming weeks. Hasn't shown it yet, but he's legit, imo.
