Blake Francis, a 6-0 guard from the University of Richmond, is entered in the 2021 NBA Draft. In his senior season, Francis averaged 16.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.4 steals. He’s also a career 38.6% from the three-point line. He’s a microwave scorer, underrated passer, and pesky defender.
Francis does not appear in most major mock drafts and will likely have to take the long way to carve out a roll in the NBA. For someone like him without a national profile, these pre-draft workouts are going to be extremely important. He will have to rely on them to make sure he gets a suitable NBA Summer League invite, an Exhibit 10 deal, or a Two-Way contract.
