Solid output Wednesday Blakes posted 17 points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 70-59 win over Virginia Tech.

Impact Blakes scored more than 50 percent of his points from the charity stripe, but he had a strong showing across the board and also dazzled as a playmaker with his six assists. Maxime Raynaud remains the team's go-to player on offense, but Blakes' contributions in the backcourt are very important for the Cardinal in their first season in the ACC.

Productive at both ends Blakes closed Tuesday's 77-63 win over Utah Valley with 18 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 34 minutes.

Impact Blakes was one of the main reasons why Stanford got another easy win Tuesday, and he's been one of the most productive players on the roster if excluding Maxime Raynaud. Blakes has scored at least 17 points in five of his last six outings, averaging 16.7 points per game in that span.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season-high 22 points Blakes racked up 22 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 78-71 loss to Grand Canyon.

Impact As has been the trend all season long, Maxime Raynaud was the leading scorer for Stanford, but Blakes delivered a solid showing despite the loss. This 22-point effort represented a season-high mark for the senior, but his consistency has been remarkable as well. Blakes has scored at least 12 points in all but one of his seven outings.

Strong all-around showing Blakes recorded 17 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals across 23 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 79-65 victory over UC Davis.

Impact Blakes had an impressive performance in this matchup. Even though Maxime Raynaud grabbed most of the headlines with his 33-point, 14-rebound effort, Blakes ended as Stanford's second-best scorer while also putting up solid numbers in peripheral stats. Don't expect him to emerge as a leading offensive option, though, as a best-case scenario would be to see him playing as the No.3 scoring threat behind Raynaud and Oziyah Sellers.

Scores 18 points Blakes accumulated 18 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-12 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 80-53 win over Cal State Fullerton.

Impact Benny Gealer led the way for Stanford in the scoring column and Maxime Raynaud notched an impressive double-double, but Blakes made his presence felt as well. It's only been two games, but the senior guard has scored at least 12 points while dishing out at least five assists in his first two outings this season.

No action Saturday Blakes did not take the court in Saturday's 72-71 victory over Clemson.

Impact It appears as if Blakes was a healthy scratch here, as Duke had Jeremy Roach back from injury, and the overall rotation was tightened up to just eight men. While Blakes' playing time this season has been far from consistent, he had at least made an appearance in every prior contest, though he had been held scoreless in three of four entering Saturday.

Moves to starting lineup Blakes is in the starting lineup to face Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Impact Blakes will enter the starting lineup with Mark Mitchell (knee) sidelined. This will be Blakes' first start of the campaign. He's only averaging 2.8 points per contest in his 16 appearances.

JANUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sets season-best mark Blakes totaled 15 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 21 minutes during Saturday's 80-56 victory over Charlotte.

Impact Blakes role has been wildly inconsistent this year, and he's been held scoreless in five games so far, so he's far from a reliable fantasy option. Saturday's usage was encouraging, however, and it led to a season-best scoring total. He had far more minutes than any other bench option for Duke, as no other reserve logged more than six minutes on the court in the contest.

Playing with broken nose Blakes suffered a broken nose Wednesday but he's expected to play through it, Conor O'Neill of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Head coach Jon Scheyer said Friday that Blakes will be ready to go for Saturday's matchup with Miami and that he will be wearing a mask to protect the nose. The sophomore has had a significant role off the bench this season, averaging 5.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists while playing 19.3 minutes per game.

Moves to bench Blakes isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Boston College.

Scoring trending up Blakes totaled 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 86-67 win over Florida State.

Impact Blakes made his first start of the season and matched his best scoring total of the year, one which he had set just 11 days earlier against Wake Forest. It remains to be seen if he'll continue to start over Tyrese Proctor, but the stock of Blakes clearly appears to be on the rise after appearing in just 21 games as a fringe rotation player in his freshman season.
