Jaron Blossomgame - Summer MixTape - Clemson 2012

In our second look at the 17U Georgia Stars team, we will be taking a look at the versatile Jaron Blossomgame. The 6'7, 200 pound Blossomgame not only has one of the catchiest last names on the AAU circuit but also gives the talented Stars squad a unique player that can create consistent mismatches for their opponents. When commenting on the completion of this year's AAU season, Blossomgame added, "We had a great season. It was fun playing with each of my teammates. We accomplished a lot more than people expected." Blossomgame is described as being Mr. Versatility. His range gives defenders' headaches with his stroke extending to the 3-point arc. If the other team matches their 4 with Blossomgame, that defender must match Jaron's chameleon-like ability to adjust anywhere on the floor to effectively defend him. He's not your prototypical back-to-the-basket forward when positioned at the 4 and that makes him a problematic matchup. At the next level, Blossomgame should add more size if put at the 4. It would allow him to matchup physically on the defensive end of the floor which in turn, would enable Jaron to not trust solely in his athletic ability. The alternative option would be to groom him at the 3. As a high school junior last season, Blossomgame put up 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game for Chattahoochee High School (Johns Creek, Georgia). His best game may have come against South Forsythe where he dropped 42 points and 15 rebounds, which is considered one of the state's most dominating performances last year. Jaron committed to Clemson back in February of this year. It was said that Jaron liked the prestige of the ACC while also staying somewhat close to his Georgia surroundings. Prior to committing, Blossomgame's recruitment began to flourish with bigger schools such as Minnesota, Iowa, Alabama and Georgia showing interest late. He had also received offers from Tennessee Tech, Georgia Southern, and Wichita State.

I played against him this year and he can score from anywhere on the floor, truly unstoppable at this level

I think Blossomgame will be a fine addition to the 2012 class,just hope hes got alil range in his shooting as well. We need instant offense,and quick.We're holding teams to 60 points,then we only score 50 ourself at CLEMSON. Brownell is having a hard time finding answers.IF I WERE HIM...I would go with a smaller quicker lineup that tries to get up and down the floor in transcition alil better. AT LEAST till he can get some answers in the front court.
