How last year went
Antonio Blakeney earned himself a two-year deal in July for two reasons: He was named the 2018 G-League Rookie of the Year after averaging 32.0 points per game, and he averaged 21.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in five Summer League games a year ago.
He had a supporter in Fred Hoiberg, who gave the 22-year-old 31 minutes on opening night against the Sixers.
