“The eye test reveals Wesley’s defensive prowess, particularly his on-ball defense. He’s quick, shifty, and capable of guarding various players, including the opponent’s best. Offensively, while not a prolific scorer, Wesley excels at getting to the rim and pushing the pace in transition.”

I see Cronin let Chauncey pick out someone when they went shopping.

Two current Blazers played well in this April 2023 game:

 

[SharpesTriumph]

 

[SharpesTriumph]

So we'll have 0, 00, and 99

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Jaden Springer waived

Intriguing defensive prospect

Springer > Wesley

 

[Mediocre Man]

So he’s the anti Dame? All defense but can’t score?

What an acquisition this is looking like it could be. Love the way he plays out there.

Lightning quick.

What’s his tattoo on his left arm? It looked like kabuki version of the comedy/tragedy masks?

 

[PDXFonz]

Needs to stay, he works so well in this system. Even though he’s not filling the box score he’s like a fly at a picnic out there.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

He's just a bit too erratic. Reminds me of a poor mans will barton.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Wesley is becoming our TJ McConnell, and every team needs one of those.

I just went back and read this thread from last July. It is entertaining. Especially the part about how he can't defend.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Blake = Jose Alvarado

 

[Pinwheel1]

Blake = Jose Alvarado

They are both pesky players for sure. But I think Jose was more about offense, with very little length. His wingspan was 6'1".
Blake, on the other hand, is all defense with a 6'9" wingspan.

Wesley reminds me of two guys from the past....Chauncey's 6 man in Detroit Lindsey Hunter and Iverson's partner in Philly, Eric Snow...both defensive dogs and spark plugs.
