Temporary, but I'd like to see him get consistent minutes tbh. He has all the physical abilities to be elite and is already the second best guard defender on the team.
Blake Wesley’s 3’s are becoming money, and his layups conversion is trending up. He can push the ball, cuts well to the basket, and of course solid defender harassing the ball-handler full court. Plus he’s really limited his errors. Great job!

It's funny watching someone evaluate a player from a fan standpoint instead of from a realistic one. Wesley is a 20 percent shooter from the arc who hit one three in the game. He made himself look better by only attempting two.
So glad the Spurs didn't utilize a draft pick on Dillingham or McCain or Knecht. Surrounding Victor with shooters makes no sense. Putting him on the floor with Blake, Branham and Jones and hoping for the best is just good team management.
And easier to see a hater. Wesley’s jump shots have improved so much from previous years. I used to cringe when he bricked those 3’s but now seems shooting in rhythm. Wesley’s closing at the rim has also improved. His overall game has improved on top of his already elite defense. He actually looks like a real contributor and fits the team perfectly as 3rd PG and defense specialist
Dillingham, McCain and Knecht are all negative defenders. One massive problem the Lakes are facing is that their defense is awful.
Wesley, Branham, and Jones are players already on the team. What does it cost to acquire those players? Nothing. We already have them.
It's a fallacy to equate the two groups. The first group would take assets to acquire and create new problems. The second group takes no assets to acquire.
he is shooting 21.1% from 3 on the season
he's gone 1-2 each of the last two games, but that hardly makes it a trend
He's playing well lately, and it seems he's better at 2 than 1. I don't mind him being 8th to 10th guy. He brings energy in the court and in the locker room. Something like a poor man's version role of Marcus Smart - thinner but faster. Hope he can still improve his three-point shooting to a serviceable percentage (30%+).
It's not great, but establishing the threat is important. Getting reps in-game and not thinking about them is important if he wants to start knocking them down.
oh, agreed. i took issue with the characterization that his 3 point shot is "becoming money"
Wesley has yet to prove of being consistent.Gotta have more good games at playmaking and shooting.Not one good game every 10 games
wont cut it.Hopefully he can keep it up.His comp is tre jones,Who he should easily beat out if hes a decent player.
if he can just be more consistent, i can definitely be sold on wesley having a part in the rotation on a more regular basis.
Well, at least it was one good three-point shot and he took it with confidence! Lol.
Shaq's free throws were money.
You're a hater if you disagree.
When you start to reply on your own post, that’s borderline schizophrenia bruh![]()
we have a bunch of those on this board![]()
And so do we.
I like his pairing w/ Castle but got to have Mamu in there bec Castle& Blake's offense could go stagnant anytime
When they show shots of him on the sideline, it looks like he's wearing a back brace for some reason...
There’s a lot of everything on this board….
Wesley has played better lately, but his offense needs to really develop some consistency. He's virtually a non-factor on that end and that just won't cut it.
Which is a bit weird, IMO, cause he was known as a 'gunner' and scorer in college. Still, being able to score on college kids - on meh efficiency - doesn't always translate to being a scorer in the NBA.
Your posts are money. Just like your basketball takes, bruh.
Blake Wesley is also extension eligible this offseason. Spurs have given extensions based on post-ASB performance before extension availability before... wonder if they'll consider a modest extension for Blake (I'm not making a case that we should).
Archetype-wise, he's in the same mold as Fox (fast, good length, defensive event creator). Have thought Fox would be a good person for Blake to model his game after and learn from.
i like wesley. i advocated for picking up his option, and wanted him to get more playing time this season. i think he has a pathway to being the backup PG next season. he just turned 22.
i have 0 interest in extending him unless its dirt cheap, in a way that wouldnt make sense for him to sign
