2010 FBA Draft Prospect - Blythe Nacht
sketch 21/100
Here's Blythe Nacht, the Black Fox (actually red fox, silver phase) created by none other than Kyell Gold! (
kyell )
A top notch scorer and shooter who needs to diversify his game, Blythe is working on his physique and learning to do a few more things on the offensive and defensive ends.
Also, apologies that this jersey looks so similar to Kenny Henderson's UNLV jersey. Real life college have some pretty boring, uncreative color schemes/logos/jersey designs, to be honest.
I think I earned a little bit of basketball playing time after this one! Still not even halfway done with FBA prospects though. WTF Mate?! X,x *drops dead*

Blythe Nacht is a top notch scorer and shooter with one of the quickest releases in the Draft. The swift black fox broke the three-point accuracy record for his conference this year, and came within 20 points of breaking the scoring record. He makes an appearance on the Top 10 list in scoring and 3-point accuracy for this year's draft class, tying for 3rd in the latter category.
So why isn't Blythe ranked higher on this list? Probably because he's a very one-dimensional player whose main strength is shooting 3-pointers. He tends to stay somewhat stagnant on offense, hanging by the 3-point line until a pass comes his way. Though he is quite good at sinking the trey, especially from the corner, which he says is his "sweet spot".
Blythe is a volume scorer, but lacks much of any contribution in any other category. He's not a masterful ball-handler, he hardly ever looks for the open man, and you won't see him going into the paint to snatch rebounds very often. He also really needs to work on his defense. He's one step away from being a turnstile on the perimeter, and that is not something coaches like. His effort has been questioned on that end before, but he does swear that he has been working on that part of his game, and the improvements are slight, but they're there.
The biggest improvement he made over the course of the last season is adding fifteen pounds of muscle to his delicate frame, giving him a bit more leverage against other players. He has been known to take the ball inside on occasion, as his 20 points a game don't come from just 3 pointers. When he drives inside, he has a sort of rubbery effect, like he will jump in the air and contort his body in all sorts of ways, then sink the shot. He's also like rubber in that he's pretty durable, despite being thin as a noodle. He bends and twists, but never breaks, which is nice when many others his size tend to be quite injury prone.
Blythe could stand to utilize his driving ability more often, as there is quite a bit of potential in the way he can get inside, but old habits die hard, and his habit of waiting by the arc for a shot to come to him is something he will have to overcome. He needs to be more aggressive on both ends of the court. He tends to do best when challenged, and his intensity and focus falters when he's not involved in the play.
All in all, Blythe is a solid scorer and terrific shooter with even more potential to diversify his offensive repertoire. It's just everything else that makes up the game of basketball that he needs to improve on.

I'm not counting tonight, and I'm trying to get it done by the 8th... and I still have to actually put them on the Flash Draft Board, which will take some time. I'll probably be working all the way up until the Draft begins. X,x
Nah, at worst, if it's the last day and I can't get them all done, I'll do just their avatars and put them in. Ideally, I had wanted to do something fancy with their full body pics for the Additional Info part of the Draft board, but I'll probably have to settle for the minimum of their stats and the avatar... and I can set it up to use the pencil sketch avatars if I REALLY run out of time.

I definitely like the authentic Cornhuskers jersey. Makes me wonder how a prospect from Iowa would turn out (The Iowa Hawkeyes have 3 jerseys: a yellow one that's their primary home and road alternate, a white one that's their home alternate, and a black one that's their primary road jersey).
Already got one drawn up: JD Headstrong (Inspired by former Iowa Hawkeye star as well as Chicago Bull and Charlotte Hornet BJ Armstrong, that guy was short by NBA standards but God could he shoot from the arc, even once was the top vote-getter for the NBA All-Star Game, the only one he ever played in back in 1994)
Black fox wearing a white headband-- do you think Nacht is an admirer of Onca?
I gotta say, so far I think this is the most exotic coloring job yet. In the end, it shouldn't be a surprise, but from the sketched version, it was hard to imagine this silver-phase fox. It's quite an image, to see such dark fur against such bright red with that Nebraska jersey-- no doubt he was easy to pick out on the hardwood playing in college. And those colors give even more intensity to the look he gives the camera. There's something a bit-- unnerving about Mr. Nacht.
But I guess with a name like that...
Great job, JT!
