LAS VEGAS — One-and-done players are usually five-star prospects in high school and McDonald’s All-Americans. Chet Holmgren and Paolo Banchero have been on NBA scouts’ radar because of their high profile before hitting the college scene.
Blake Wesley is far from your typical one-and-done.
The 6-foot-5 combo guard was an under-the-radar high school recruit, ranked just outside the top 100 in his high school class. Wesley wasn’t a McDonald’s All-American and didn’t get invited to participate at Nike’s Hoop Summit or Jordan Brand Classic, events that allow NBA scouts and front-office executives to get early eyes on the top prospects coming up.
