veteran North Dakota guard, but not a current stat-sheet driver
Thomas Blake was listed as a North Dakota guard and a walk-on graduate on the 2017–18 roster, and his 2016–17 stat line was modest: 13 games, 3.0 minutes per game, 0.8 points, 1.0 rebound, and 0.4 assists per game. His profile reads more like a depth-and-discipline piece than a high-usage producer, which can still matter if a team values experience, readiness, and low-drama locker-room fit. The latest available team rosters do not show him as an active impact player, so the clearest takeaway is that he was a role player whose value came from reliability rather than production.
