Expert Analysis

I love seeing the confidence a player gains when they find a great home at the Division I level, and if Monday was any indication, the newly minted High Point commit’s game is heading in the right direction, if it wasn’t already. He was flinging it around with poise, making outstanding reads from behind the cage and from the wing, and positively affecting the game much more consistently than he has in the past. He’s always dodged with a ton of bounce, but I feel like he played more within himself and seldom forced the issue when getting to his spots or setting up his teammates. The lefty from Annapolis scored on dunks, dished out some pretty skip passes for assists, and got up the hash before finishing appropriately.
The Lakers could use a little extra pop on offense after a transitional year of sorts, and I have a feeling that Burgess will provide that on the attack. With that being said, I have a hunch he’ll be more of a middie in college, where he’s bound to invert frequently given how good he is attacking from below GLE.

is a crafty and creative lefty attackman whose vision and playmaking make him the engine of the Hawks’ offense. He has a knack for assisting his teammates, operating as a feed-first initiator who threads passes through tight windows and seemingly impossible skip lanes. Blake is explosive off his first step and thrives with a sharp change of direction behind the cage, creating separation and controlling the pace of each possession. His effort is relentless; he rides at full speed and consistently generates second-chance opportunities. Blake’s work ethic and competitiveness consistently show up in his play, reflecting a strong commitment to continual improvement and team success.
