Blake is a prolific scoring machine with a silky smooth touch. Lethal from three land but can pull up on a dime in the mid-range or can attack the rim off the bounce effectively. Blake excels at creating his own shots. Blake is a force competitor and intense defender.
This past season Blake averaged 20.3 points, 2.1 assists, and 2.1 rebounds while shooting, 35.4% on 3. Blake's monster season earned him 1st Team All-Cloverbelt Conference and #37 ranking in the class of 26 in WI. The most motivating thing that happened last season that will push Blake moving forward was losing in the second round of the playoffs. Blake's number one goal for this upcoming season is to make it to state. Blake wants to win conference Player of the Year., and 1st Team All North-West in Wisconsin along the way.
Playing AAU for the Wisconsin Playmakers P32 17u, Blak's AAU goals are to make it to the New Balance Finals and to continue to improve, especially as a defender. Blake also wants to be the top defender on his team.
The thing that fuels Blake the most on the court is to use the skills that he has developed through training to help his team win.

When adversity strikes during a game Blake turns the page and focuses on making the next play.
After the game, Blake uses the adversity to fuel his next training session. Black understands everything in every game is a learning tool to build on, especially adversity.
A coach can expect Blake to always give 100% on the court. What sets Blake apart is his work ethic and the amount of time he puts in. Blake's love for the game makes it easy to spend hours working on each part of his game.
Several coaches and trainers have shared that Blake is projected to play at the D2 level. Blake's focus is to continue to improve as a basketball player and to play at the level he earns.
I assess that the potential of Blake's skill set and shooting ability is extremely high. That work ethic and competitive edge could open some really big doors if he continues to put in the grind. Blake will not only thrive on the next level but excel if he maintains the work ethic of the next level. I believe that the mindset of earning his spot is rare in this age and that alone sets Blake apart. In this entitlement era, he is not settling but pushing himself, willing to leave it all on the court and allow that to determine what he earns. That's big-time ya'll. Never let anyone put you in a box Blake, just fly young man fly. I'm super hyped to track Black's journey this season and beyond. Y'all better lock this young star in; it will be must-see TV! Stay tuned!
