Doesn't it bother you that Blake can't finish under the basket?
Surely Blake has higher ceiling and Malaki higher floor

Good question. I would agree Malaki probably has the higher floor.
Beyond that, who the heck knows.
Ceilings are generally so outrageous that they look silly, but . . .
For Malaki, maybe Devin Booker.
Blake is tougher. He's built like Ja Morant and has some of the same athleticism, but even as ridiculous as ceilings can be, that's ridiculous.
De'Aaron Fox?
I’m not sure if it’s been posted but Jim Rome interviewed Wesley 7/28. The podcast is on Apple. I attempted to post the link but I’m not sure if it went through.

He’s a very respectful kid as has been mentioned. He acknowledged that he is blessed. However, Wesley says that he is driven by a chip on his shoulder. He feels he’s been overlooked since high school. He says he is attacking everyone drafted ahead of him.
At no point does his tone sound agitated or en led he is just stating his convictions as matter of fact. He used the word kill to describe his mindset going into his Spurs workout. The interview ends with Wesley highlighting his relationship with Impact Basketball and his introduction to Herbalife nutrition. This kid is impressive. All the doomsday whiners will soon forget Murray.
The Pyramid Drugstore of Blake Wesley
This dude showed a lot of good things in his first game as a rookie. Had jitters, but clearly a ton of support from his teammates. He knew his sets, was prepared, hit two threes, had a couple great drives when he called his own number (one at the end of a period).
Most important, he was circulating the ball and handling it well as the lead guard.
he has a lot to learn, but his speed is elite
If he adds a jumper it'll be hard to deal with Kelson, Vassell, AND him in a couple years.
He held his own up pretty well for his first Pro game. He made some mistakes here and there but he seemed to respond really well.
Blake & the rest of the 2022 draftees go a long way to make up for the unprecedented disaster that the 2021 draft class turned out to be.
Time for less Barry Allen and more Blake. Less Wally West and more Wesley.
I just hope Pop doesn’t ruin the kid like all the others
Blake just posted on his story “I’ll be back” with two praying emojis.
Damn
Do you think that is the "trauma" Primo was referencing?
Help make an Allstar out of Murray and Keldon?
Why are people such idiots?
Did he have an MRI or any kind of update?

No timetable on possible return or any other updates.Rookie Blake Wesley exited the game with a left knee injury, but MRI revealed no major injury.
Edit: Turns out kens5 was mistaken.... Torn MCL... 2 Months
I'm guessing they confused the X-Ray taken last night as an MRI somehow.

Sounds like they found out midgame about him also being part of Josh's Chippendales
No major injury is a good deal. I was afraid of a lost season like Dejounte.
The thing I like about Branham and Blake is that they are both ultra compe ive and both have great work ethic I think Branham has some OCD because his work ethic is off the charts and everything has to be perfect.
Get better
Come back stronger
Bravery in the face of adversity
You can do it
The big issue is one of his “Needs to work on” was finishing at the rim. With this injury it is going to make it even more glaring if he comes back to soon. He needs to add some bulk and strength and then he has to get his mind right. I am sure the Spurs are going to be Ultra cautious with his injury and I would be shocked to see him this season with the Main squad.
Primo screwed us over by being Pulling his Pee Wee Herman if he was not waived I highly doubt Blake would have gotten burn and now not be injured- Double edge sword
That question is a doozie!
