Name: James Blackmon
Hometown: Ft. Wayne, Indiana
Position: Combo Guard
Class: 2014
Breakdown: Blackmon is a silky-smooth combo guard with a sweet stroke that is good to 20 feet. His father, former Kentucky All-American James Blackmon Sr., will coach him in high school, so you know he has a solid basketball IQ. The incoming freshman has a solid handle and is a good, willing passer. He is also a good scorer and knows how to set up his opponent for his dribble-drives to the basket. Blackmon is an excellent prospect with great upside.
