After a solid freshman season, the 6-foot-5 Blackwell emerged as Wisconsinās second-leading scorer this past year and served as the teamās main ball handler. The sophomore from Michigan averaged 15.8 points per game, while grabbing 5.1 rebounds and dishing out 2.8 assists. He was even better in the NCAA Tournament, scoring 19 points against Montana and 21 against BYU.
Blackwell has the ability to go through the NBA Draft process and then decide whether to keep his name in or return for his junior season.
