He really likes Black and thinks he can improve his shooting form. Tony thinks he’s a a high IQ player, who can do the little things that leads to wins. His team had lack of shooting but was +15 when he was on the court. I would say worst case scenario he is Rajon Rondo and best case is tall CP3.
He also really likes Ausar, not the athlete Amen is but much better shooter. Will likely be a PG for some teams, including the Jazz.
He said if Walker reaches 75% of his ceiling then he is prime Paul Millsap and if he reaches 100% then he is Kawhi Leonard.
Eh. I'd rather take an 18-year old gifted scorer with all the physical tools and teach him how to share the ball and play within a system than take a player who can't shoot and has a bad AST/TO ratio but is billed as a PG. I'm not looking to turn Whitmore into John Stockton, and remember that he isn't going to be the man on the Jazz right away and will have to defer to other players, unlike in college where his team wasn't very good. Also, it's about how you use him. Markkanen never averaged more than 1.9 assists per game and he's still awesome--I don't hear anything about how he doesn't pass the ball.
As for Black, worst case can't be Rondo, who is a hall of fame player probably. If anything, worst case is Dante Exum--great length and physical tools, willing passer, but out of the league. Also, I really don't like Black's AST/TO ratio: 3.9 assists and 3 turnovers in 35 minutes. That's a far cry from CP3 or Rondo.
