Bradenton, FL (Future150) -- 2018 G/F Kevin Blaser of IMG Academy (FL) put on some great performances last summer with Florida Elite. Now running with the Florida Vipers on the Under Armour circuit, Blaser will have an even better chance to showcase his talents to college coaches.
For the ones who don't know much about Blaser, he is a 6'6 versatile weapon that can do a little bit of everything when he's on the court. He's one of those players that could play multiple positions with ease, but he's got a certain position in mind he really wants to focus on becoming the best at.
"I really like to shoot the ball and play around the perimeter, so I would like to say I'm a shooting guard," Blaser said. "I also like to post up smaller players. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as I'm on the floor."
Narrowing down one position to dominate certainly takes time and practice. Blaser did nothing but put in work at IMG Academy this past season, striving towards becoming more of a shooting guard than a point forward.
"The thing I really focused on improving was my ball-handling and my mid-range game," Blaser said. "I also worked on my explosiveness and foot speed, so I am able to finish over defenders and guard smaller players."
All this improvement and success on the court the past year has led to some schools showing interest and keeping tabs on Blaser, but nothing too heavy yet.
"I've gotten a lot of letters and mail from mostly Central Florida, Florida, Missouri, Ohio, and Tennessee," Blaser said.
Playing infront of more exposure, and proving to be a very versatile weapon as just a Sophomore may lead to some heavier interest and maybe even an offer come this summer.
