Black is realistically the best PG in this draft. He needs playing time to get the recognition he deserves, it would be great to have him in the rising stars game with Paolo.


What made you think Black is the best PG in this draft? You are drunk? A PG can’t even shoot. Accept the fact, dude.

Dude is 19 chill bro. We have no idea what he will become.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Scoot is the better prospect but as a heads up, the top 3 PG's drafted (Scoot, Amen, and AB) ALL CAN'T SHOOT.

He said during the World Cup that they believe his thumb isn’t going to get worst so he will play through it. During training camp he said it is still bothering him but he’s fine.


Not gonna get worse? So itl heal in time despite the abuse?

I guess. I have no idea what he meant by that.

He was the highest rated PG prospect out of the NCAA, and like others mentioned, he's 19 and none of the other top PG prospects can shoot. We act like the kid is chopped liver.

Scoot is more athletic than Black, for some that makes him a better prospect.

If Black was is POR, He'd be putting up similar numbers to Scoot, some probably better
Scoot has more TO than Ast. (17-16)
Scoot is shooting under 6% on threes (1-18)
Scoot has only 11 Reb through 4 games
Black has more blocks (2) than Scoot (1)
Those are areas where I think Black would do better.
