     I don’t get why he is mocked 29th in the ’17 draft.  I already have him in the front half of this years lottery. He scores every way. Has a nice stroke, super athletic and he can play defense. I think his skillset translates perfectly to the NBA. His game continues to remind me of james Harden.

     I won’t claim he’s a lottery pick off of games against subpar competition. From what I saw from him at the all star games in the spring didn’t impress me. He’s a ball dominating guard that doesn’t really get his teammates the ball. Kinda reminds me of Jordan Crawford in some ways. 

    Not trying to insult you, but it’s laughable to try to compare him to James Harden. What makes James Harden special is his passing ability. Blakeney is a small shooting guard that’s really bal dominated and a ball stopper. Don’t get me wrong because he can really improve his game while at LSU, but I don’t see a one and done with him.

     I get it. And I’m not saying he is Harden merely pieces of his game remind me of James Harden. As far as body type Harden probably has 30 lbs on Blakeney.   The idea behind the post was to illustrate my belief that Antonio Blakeney is currently underrated and has impressed me greatly.
