Christian Bliss is a true point
that has a great feel for the position. Bliss attacks the paint and center of the
floor and will not hesitate to advance the ball on the pass or dribble to apply
immediate pressure to the defense. He will also give the post a good look and
do not forget about him when he decides to set up on the block.
Bliss keeps constant pressure on
the defense on the break as well as in the halfcourt set where he beats his man
and gets in the lane seemingly at will. We love how Christian’s knowledge of
how to control the game and how to get the ball to his teammates where they can
be successful. He has a tremendous pull and middle game along with a very good
floater when he gets deep into the teeth of the defense. Seeing him dominate
against the best comp in the country after leading his Riverside team all
season long he proved that he’s tough and carries that NYC Guard swagger onto
the floor, a leader by example, he competes and is always in full attack mode.
He can also pressure the ball and set the tone of defense as he has the vital combination
on 2023 of size, strength, and skill.
We loved how Bliss could come off
the ball as well and fulfill the role of the two; as a shooting guard he as
well possess an excellent feel for the game and basketball IQ operating from
the wing. We like his range and quick trigger mostly off the catch, but we did
some solid work off the bounce. He will spot
up on the break, stretch the defense in the halfcourt offense or be a go to
shooter off a special set play – he is best when the game is on the line and
can be counted on to get you a bucket when in need. He has the size to shoot
over smaller defenders as well. He is a better athlete than advertised and is a
willing defender. We like his confidence
and his potential to be impactful for many years in the 2023 class.
