Watch: Blake Wesley works out at pro day ahead of NBA draft
This is the time of year when NBA draft hopefuls work out for teams considering their services. One of them is Notre Dame’s Blake Wesley, the best player to come out of the program in years. The CAA Pro Day was Wesley’s latest opportunity to show what he could do. If you’re curious about how he did, here are some of his highlights:

Of course, anyone who watched the Irish this past season shouldn’t be surprised to see any of this from Wesley. The kid was by far the most explosive and athletic on the team game in and game out. All he had to do was have production to show for it, and he did just that with 14.4 points a game, so he declared his eligibility for the draft after only one season.
Most projections currently have Wesley going in the mid-to-late first round, which would make him the first Irish player taken in that round since Jerian Grant in 2015. Here’s to a proud night for Mike Brey and everyone else in the program June 23.
