Marqus Blakely

Blakely has been the talk of the town in Clipperland. The Clippers signed him as undrafted free agent rookie this summer to a two-year, partially guaranteed contract. He played four years at the University of Vermont, where he put up impressive defensive statistics. If Del Negro wanted to take a leap of faith with one of his rookies and insert them into the starting lineup at small forward, Blakely would be the most likely recipient of the honor.
