Those closely watching the Kerry Blackshear story got some pretty interesting news this week when both the NBA Combine and G League Combine released their list of attendees and the heavily sought-after Virginia Tech product wasn’t on either list.
This came as quite a shock to me as I’m big on the pro potential of the skilled 6’11” big man who averaged 14.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists last season leading a quality Virginia Tech team to some major wins in a difficult ACC. While the chance exists that he got an invitation but declined it that could be a bit difficult to believe though the notion of him not being invited to at least the G League Combine is also a curious outcome.
