Blake Wesley

Blake Wesley is a downhill guard who bet on burst and defense. San Antonio drafted the Notre Dame product 25th overall in 2022 after a single college season, drawn to a quick first step and the length to pester ball-handlers. Three years with the Spurs never quite unlocked steady minutes, and the summer of 2025 sent him packing: shipped to Washington in the Kelly Olynyk trade, bought out, then signed to a one-year deal in Portland. The 2025-26 season was a grind — career-low minutes across 31 games and a stint sidelined by surgery. Wesley's swing skill remains the jumper; the rim pressure and point-of-attack defense are real, but until the outside shot stabilizes he profiles as a change-of-pace guard fighting to lock down a rotation spot rather than a nightly fixture.
