'16 TN F Braxton Blackwell

I really wish we would have kept pushing for him. He will be way better than Fukerson.

This will definitely be one to watch over the next couple years, how Fulk and Blackwell develop, possibly even Fernando and Ado. It's obvious the staff really preferred Fulk, there's no doubt many scouts have questioned Blackwell's ceiling, will be fun to keep track of throughout their careers.

I have seen Blackwell-Key play many times. You might be correct because Fulkerson is a wild card. He could turn out to be nothing more than serviceable. However, he has potential to be very good depending on how he develops. Blackwell on the other hand does not have as much potential as Fulkerson. Blackwell is going to really struggle to be anything more than 'solid' in college. He has a serious identity crisis in college. I don't see much potential to develop good perimeter skills and he will not thrive in college in the paint. So if your statement turns out true it will only be because Fulklerson does not develop. It will not be because Blackwell turns out to be a stud. It will be a decent player vs. a bust situation, if you are right.

To me BBK looks more athletic, stronger, skilled, and versatile. To me they do similar things but BBK does them better with more strength and athleticism. I hope Fulk is better. I don't see it now though.
