Why is Blakeney getting so many minutes?

The kid doesn't make 3-pointers anymore...doesn't rebound, doesn't steal, doesn't produce assists. Not ragging on the kid, but what value is he bringing to the court to justify the huge amount of minutes he's getting from CJJ?

Patterson would be better, but he is banged up. Sampson has the same issues as Blakeney.

He actually put out a lot of effort tonight. Very active on loose balls.

Blakeney is going to explode real soon imo. Hopefully it's this Tuesday.

His D was better tonight, and that's where he needs to focus IMO.

More importantly, tonight was the first time all season Blakeney drove to the basket.

In HS, this kid could shoot the 3, run/finish fast-breaks, & dribble drive to the bucket.

Well, in college, he can't shoot for shite, still runs/finishes on fastbreaks, but doesn't dribble drive...until tonight, just once, for the first time this year.

Why isn't he driving more, especially when his outside shot is not falling?

I said right now and Patterson isn't healthy right now and Gray plays a different position.

Blakeny has improved on D and I agree with whoever said to drive more. Hes athletic, take it to them until the shot starts to fall

Is this the thread where we shite on players that just played great hard defense in the team's best win of the season?

He plays solid defense, hustles, makes the right passes, and just plays hard and tough. Plus his shot will start to fall eventually, he's too good of a shooter to stay in this slump.

Blakeney really hasn't been good, but you'd rather him out there than Sampson.

Potential. He has been cold as ice, but if this team is going to go anywhere I think he will need to be a part of it. His D has improved of late at least.
