The lightning-fast guard has found his place in the rotation

The Spurs are currently between games in Austin, and the city could not be more festive with South By Southwest currently underway. What better spot to fins oneself when celebrating a milestone birthday.

Today, Blake Wesley turns 21.

Wesley is quick as greased lightning, his speed and agility quickly becoming a Spurs superpower.

A look at a film study reveals what we are all obsessing about now:

Blake Wesley, drafted 25th by the Spurs in 2022, has developed into a formidable member of the Silver & Black.

Wesley is celebrating his 21st birthday, initiating the drinking age birthdays for he and his fellow 2022 draftees — both Malaki Branham and Jeremy Sochan turn twenty-one in May.

Happy birthday, Blake.
