Who is Jahvon Blair?
Per Endless Motor Sports:
The 6’4″ south-paw is one of the most under the radar lead guards for the class of 2017. DraftExpress wrote of Blair, “he figures to be a very productive college player who could develop into an NBA prospect in time.” Best known for his outstanding size at his position, making clutch shot, and ball-handling.
EM: Can you describe your game for those that are not familiar and what areas you work on?
JB: I’m a 6’4 pass first point guard who likes to get my teammates involved, but when I have to turn it on for my team, I can score the ball. I would say I have to work on everything to get to where I want to be. I feel that in order to become great you have to work on every part of your game to improve your overall skills.
Highlights below:
In addition to Georgetown, Georgia Tech has been in to see Blair recently.
Thank you to Georgia Tech for coming out and watching me play this afternoon! #YellowJackets

Skinn, a former George Mason standout and assistant on the local AAU squad Team Takeover, would be a great addition to the staff. Look for an announcement on the staff in the next couple of days.

Not sure where you might stand on cargo shorts, but personally I found them very valuable back in the day until my wife told me they looked horrible and banished them from the house.
(Or at least she thinks she did as I still have a pair at the bottom of one of my drawers)
FOR. THE. WIN.
