Blakeny was a good player who played on a bad team. He needs to work on his ball handling and he needs to get stronger. He has a decent jump shot but a slow release. He also has long arms and athleticism. I can see him being an NBA starter with the proper coaching and development; but an all-star is reaching. I wouldn't wish Gentry on him at all. Blakeny needs someone like Pop to coach him.

Trade back in the 2nd round to the last pick or close if you're planning on drafting Blakely.

He can shoot from outside and can elevate to get a shot off. Use him as a situational 3 point shooter until he develops into a rotation player.

If he was on a good team he'd likely get picked. Pels need outside shooters.

Not saying draft him but if it happened as I described it wouldn't be the worst pick.

Athleticism is there. Shooting has plenty potential. He just needs polish and practice.
