Antonio Blakeney: Goes No. 3 in G League Draft
Blakeney was selected by the Canton Charge with the No. 3 overall pick in Monday's G League Draft.
The former LSU standout spent the last two seasons in Chicago, where he appeared in 57 games in 2019-20, logging 14.5 minutes per contest. The 24-year-old will be one of the more accomplished players in the G League, and he'll look to parlay his time with Canton into another NBA opportunity.

Antonio Blakeney: Finds work in China
Blakeney agreed to a contract Monday with the Jiangsu Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association, Emiliano Carchia of Sportando.com reports.
The 22-year-old will take his talents overseas after appearing in 76 games for the Bulls over the past two seasons before he was cut by the team earlier this month. With Blakeney unable to secure a contract with meaningful guaranteed money from another NBA team before training camps open, he'll look to impress in China and potentially resurface in North America next spring when the CBA season wraps up.

Bulls' Antonio Blakeney: Cut by Bulls
Blakeney and the Bulls agreed to part ways on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Blakeney has thrived in the G-League during his time in the league, but was never able to find that same success when given a chance on the Bulls' roster. A streaky scorer, he will need to work on his efficiency in order to find another opportunity.

Bulls' Antonio Blakeney: Inefficient in Tuesday's loss
Blakeney had 11 points (5-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 112-103 loss to the Raptors.
Blakeney finished with more field goal attempts than points. Still, he filled up the stat sheet, and with the Bulls beaten up by injuries, he may remain a pretty appealing option in leagues that primarily value counting stats across the final seven games of 2018-19.

Blakeney contributed 17 points (8-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, and one assist in 20 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 loss to the Hawks.
Blakeney hadn't appeared in four of the last five games, and this was the first time since Jan. 11 that he reached double figures in scoring. The 22-year-old guard remains a microwave scoring option off the bench, but one that the Bulls rarely turn to on a consistent basis.

Bulls' Antonio Blakeney: Headed to Windy City
Blakeney was assigned to the Windy City Bulls of the G League on Tuesday.

Bulls' Antonio Blakeney: Plays three minutes in loss
Blakeney scored two points (1-1 FG) in three minutes during Wednesday's 121-101 loss to the Hawks.
Blakeney has earned just three minutes in consecutive contests, this after being a healthy scratch during last Saturday's loss to the Heat.

Bulls' Antonio Blakeney: Steps up in blowout loss
Blakeney offered 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one assist across 13 minutes in the Bulls' 146-109 loss to the Warriors on Friday.
The LSU product continued to churn out solid production in a limited role, with Friday's scoring tally his fourth of the double-digit variety in the first five games of 2019. The second-year wing has impressive drained nine of his 17 attempts over the last pair of contests, and he's shooting 46.3 percent overall, including 42.9 percent from distance, thus far in January. While Zach LaVine will naturally continue gobbling up the majority of minutes at two-guard, Blakeney should enjoy a consistent role in the rotation as long as his current production persists.
