2024-2025 Regular Season Game 29: Oklahoma City Thunder (20-5) at Orlando Magic (17-11) - 7pm

[The-Stallion70]

Black looked nice this game, against the Thunder and Caruso as well.

For whatever reason some young players don't develop their games like Bamba, Dennis Smith Jr, Hezonja, Hasheem Thabeet, Wiseman, Killian Hayes, etc

When I saw how timid he looked in some games and how bad his jumpshot appeared I figured the same may be true for Black but this game he really showed alot.

He made a step back Three pointer and a step back 13 footer after a drive. Last season teams were giving him space like he was Rondo.

He showed the ability to create driving lines in minimal space in traffic and finish with difficult floaters.

He made a pinpoint lead pass to Goga off a pick and roll.

To me this shows the work he is putting in but also the kid may have something that Weltman saw in him.

If he can just string a few performances together, maybe it carries over when F&P return
