ACTUAL
POTENTIAL
INTRODUCTION
Blaise Threatt transferred to the Wildcats in the 2023-24 season after three successful years at Colorado Mesa University, where he earned RMAC First-Team All-Conference honors in 2023 after being named to the Second-Team the previous season and participated in the NCAA Division II Tournament each season. In his first year at Weber State, he played alongside NBA talent Dillon Jones, eventually taking on his legacy as a leader in his senior season, becoming the main scorer and playmaker of the roster.
PHYSICAL
Blaise Threatt possesses a solid build that complements his athleticism. His frame and weight provide the strength to absorb contact when driving to the basket. He covers the court well and has a good reaction, making him an energetic player. He has good lateral mobility and his agility allows him to navigate through defenses effectively. However, his size is an advantage when used as a ball handler; if he plays in other roles he can technically cover, this physical bonus is limited.
OFFENSIVE PHASE
Blaise Threatt is a versatile scorer with a knack for penetrating defenses and finishing at the rim, as evidenced by his 2-P percentage (60.4% on 6 attempts per game) during the last season. Difficult to limit in the open court, his ability to absorb contact makes him a good free throw generator, but he should improve his conversion rate (slightly above 70% for his career). Meanwhile, his three-point shooting (35.2% on 1.7 attempts in the first 13 games of this season, 30.8% on 2 attempts) could benefit from improvement to enhance his perimeter threat and overall offensive impact. Used as the primary handler, he is demonstrating a certain solidity (+2.9 assist/turnover ratio at the start of the season) in managing possessions, although he sometimes lacks creativity in his reads, which can be too basic to be effective against opposing defenses.
DEFENSIVE PHASE
Blaise Threatt utilizes his physicality and quickness to guard multiple positions effectively on the perimeter. He has a keen sense for disrupting passing lanes (2.6 steals per game at the start of the season), indicating his defensive awareness and anticipation skills. Additionally, he contributes to the rebounding efforts (5.5 per game) which can lead to fast breaks. However, facing taller and more athletic opponents may require him to further develop his defensive energy to maintain effectiveness near the basket.
IMPROVED AREAS
Blaise Threatt is a versatile, solid player who can occupy multiple positions effectively. Offensively, he can improve in terms of reading the game; while he has solid ball management, his playmaking is rather basic, and as a primary handler at a professional level, he would be easy for opponents to understand. Consistency in his three-point shooting and greater accuracy at the free-throw line would also make him a more complete scorer. Overall, he seems capable of becoming a valuable glue-guy who can integrate effectively into a medium-low level European league team and then grow over a couple of seasons.
