Anthony Black and Eric Bledsoe
Posted: Sat Feb 1, 2025 8:52 pm
Anthony Black is performing at a level statistically similar to Eric Bledsoe's early-career numbers. I think this suggests that AB could follow a comparable path to become a more efficient, two-way guard. His defensive tools and playmaking are already evident, and if he refines his offensive consistency his long-term upside is very promising. Wanted to get the boards thoughts on this comp.
