wouldnt it make more sense to Fultz to be moved? since they are so alike

Ewww... Oh well, in WeHam we trust, I guess. But I don't like this pick.

Some positives about Black:
- High free throw rate
- Excellent BBIQ/Awareness
- Makes teammates better
- Positional size opens up many defensive schemes.

Maybe they keep them both but it's a good point as spacing will not be good if they play together.

Commentators already calling out our lack of shooting and saying Black isn't going to help with that, we all know the roster needs a ton of work to make it make sense
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

Purging all the hatred I have for this pick out of my heart and welcoming Anthony Black with open arms.

If we move Fultz we are kinda taking a step-back. Lets be honest, when Fultz sits we really dont have a real PG left. We have a scoring PG and a defensive guard so far.

Maybe we just groom Black to replace Fultz. Roolie PGs arent known to be immediately be good in the league.

I dreamt about up picking him last April. Lol

Reminds me so much of Franz Wagner. He got elite positional size as well.

We Just need more athleticism, imo.

and that his shot develops... if he does, he will make Franz and Paolo even better as he runs 2-man plays with them.
