Louisville 83, Rutgers 76

Wayne Blackshear — G/F, 6-5, 210
Junior, 22 years old
Season (20.4 mpg): 9.5 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 0.8 APG
Game: 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks/assists/steals
Outlook: It’s been difficult to evaluate Blackshear because he’s played out of position for long stretches in games. He was a shooting guard in high school, but often plays forward in Louisville’s lineup.
Still, it’s apparent that Blackshear is a physical player who can finish through contact. He is also a tough rebounder. Developing jump shot, and when you look at his complete profile, on paper he has the making of an NBA prospect. He’s a former McDonald’s All-American, with NBA size/strength to finish through contact.
However, Blackshear is not consistent with his production, and often appears out of position on the court. Most concerning though, is that Blackshear has never distinguished himself on the court. He’s good—but not elite—in any facet right now.
