The Chicago Bulls are planning to sign former LSU basketball player Antonio Blakeney to a minimum deal Thursday, according to the Chicago Tribune.
quote:
Blakeney, who spent last season with the Bulls on a two-way contract, has become somewhat of a fan favorite for his quick bursts of scoring. He averaged 7.9 points in 16.5 minutes over 19 games with the Bulls and earned G League Rookie of the Year honors.

Blakeney still might spend some development time in the G League with the Windy City Bulls because he projects to be the third point guard. But he also could be utilized in an “instant offense” role if the Bulls are struggling to score some nights.

Seems like only yesterday I was watching his HS youtube clips. It mentioned that he's playing some PG and hopefully he's able to make that transition, although I guess it's possible he's still playing a little of both guard spots.
