The 6’2 Guard averaged 16/4/5 along with 2 steals a game for the season, while also doing it on 46/41/85 splits Blyden has an extremely polished and mature game for his age and he takes advantage of his craft and skill to be one of the most impactful players on the floor. Blyden has the ability to make an impact with or without the ball. Blyden is a skilled PNR operator who finished in the 82th percentile in PNR play. Blyden has the ability to shoot off the dribble from the mid range or from three and uses his handle and speed to get to the rim. Blyden is also a skilled passer who uses his scoring to create open looks for his teammates. He was also one of the best catch and shoot shooters in the country this season. Blyden’s ability to shoot from three with efficiency while also passing at a high level without turning the ball over is rare for a freshman and he was one of 4 Freshmen this season who had an AST% of 20, shoot 40% from three on 50 made threes and had a TOV% of under 15 joining Cam Boozer, Keaton Wagler, and Darius Acuff.
