Black has a lot of work to do to be a starting PG on a contender - I hope you’re right
Imo, he doesnt have to be starting pg level. At the minimum, has to be a decent 3 and D guy who can sometimes initiate the offense. Similar to Jrue/White. Because like Suggs’ situation, Banchero or Franz really carries most of the load on offense. That’s why Harris & Suggs backcourt works. Also, we dont need a high usage guy to eat up the dynamic duo of Franz and Paolo’s usage.
Black is on the right track. Just needs to get his body physically ready to compete against men. Because right now, he is getting manhandled. Although Black is trying, he is simply a deer on headlight right now, unfortunately.
Imo, this is also why Black isn’t getting minutes, unlike early in the season. Mosely is already experimenting different lineups for the playoffs. You can already see him trying out different lineups. In fact, he has even tighten his rotations against contenders.
