Summary:
John Blackwell is an agile, skilled combo guard that currently plays for Wisconsin. He excels in his current role on the team, and he is a shot maker that can score in a variety of ways, and he also can operate as a ball mover on offense. He may need to add more muscle to his frame and show NBA teams that he can reliably run the point at higher levels, but he is a second round prospect that could project into a microwave scorer type of role in the NBA.
