Coming off an underwhelming rookie campaign, Wesley played fewer minutes during season number two, averaging 4.4 points and 2.7 assists in 14.4 minutes per game. Looking ahead to the 2024-25 season, Wesley could be in for yet another regression, especially with Chris Paul landing in San Antonio. The Spurs now have Paul, Tre Jones and Stephon Castle as point guard options, meaning Wesley could struggle to crack the every-night rotation. With his arrow pointed firmly in the wrong direction, Wesley can be safely ignored in just about every fantasy format. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $4.89 million contract with the Spurs in July of 2022. Spurs exercised $2.62 million team option for 2024-25 in October of 2023. Contract includes $4.73 million team option for 2025-26.
Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Wesley was born March 16, 2003, in South Bend, Indiana. His father, Derrick Sr., was a two-time MVP for the Cardinals, finished his career as the school's third all-time leading scorer and was inducted into the Ball State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1998. Blake played for James Whitcomb Riley High School in South Bend, Indiana. He took a jump during his junior year when he averaged 26.0 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. In his senior season, Wesley averaged 27.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game, leading Riley to a 19-7 record and the Class 4A sectional title. He was named to the Indiana All-Star team and ranked as the No. 82 prospect by ESPN.com. On Nov. 20, 2020, he committed to playing college basketball for Notre Dame, choosing the Fighting Irish over offers from Creighton, Kansas State, Louisville, Maryland, Purdue and Xavier. Wesley had an immediate impact during his freshman season at Notre Dame, averaging 14.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game. He shined during March Madness, where he helped Notre Dame put away Alabama in the first round of the NCAA Tournament with 18 points, which included a personal 6-0 run in the second half. His transition steal and break-away dunk would put the Irish up double digits for good late in the contest. He was nominated to the 2022 All-ACC Second Team. Eventually, this led him to be selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the 25th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.
Career-best numbers in finale
GSan Antonio Spurs
April 15, 2024
Wesley closed Sunday's 123-95 win over Detroit with 17 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals across 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS The 17 points were a career high for the second-year guard, while the boards and steals tied his previous highs. Wesley is still struggling to establish himself in the Spurs' backcourt rotation after being the 25th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, but he at least heads into the offseason with a bit of confidence.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
One of two guards selected in the first round of the 2022 NBA Draft by the Spurs, Wesley pieced together a decent run over his five Summer League appearances, averaging 17.0 points, 4.0 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals over 30.6 minutes. However, shooting efficiency certainly didn't turn heads in a good way. Wesley connected on just 30.0 percent of his 18 field goal attempts per contest and 34.4 percent from deep, efficiencies that won't gain him much favor. He'll have to improve on that number if he's going to claim a regular role in the rotation as a rookie, though his 30.3 percent conversion from beyond the arc as a freshman at Notre Dame doesn't inspire a ton of confidence. He will contend with fellow draftee Malaki Branham and second-year guard Joshua Primo to see backcourt minutes behind Tre Jones and Devin Vassell.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Timid shooting
GSan Antonio Spurs
February 26, 2024
Wesley has attempted just 28 threes across 37 appearances this season, which marks a decline from the 52 threes he attempted at a 38.5 percent clip through 37 appearances last season.
ANALYSIS Wesley is shooting 50.4 percent from the field on 3.2 shots per game this season, but his 14.3 percent three-point percentage shows stagnation in his leap to being an NBA floor spacer. Wesley has connected on 36.8 percent of 57 threes across 12 G League appearances this season, but his shooting has not translated to NBA relevancy yet.
