Re: The Anthony Black Thread
30% from 3, 70% FT shooter and 3.0 TO per game for his 3.9 APG. I just cant get excited about this pick today.

Re: The Anthony Black Thread
I did not watch Black, but how different is he from Suggs?

Re: The Anthony Black Thread
He's a better shooter than Elfrid Payton was though, right?

DPOY level defender vs good defender potential.
Best passer to come along in years vs average NBA passer.
Black is the best point guard in this year's draft and probably the best pure point guard to come along in 5-10 years.

is way way way better as a playmaker/passer.
the way is processing the game is amazing tbh,basically he is super flash at reading situations and passing the ball.
not maybe at Giddey/lonzo level,but still very good and it is very probable that would translate easily.
also the ball handling is on another level.

Re: The Anthony Black Thread
ah,just for the records:swing skill will be decision making.
he has the qualities to be an high level assist-man in nba,but he has to cut bad TO,especially when he tries to do advanced passes other players can not see.
he has to learn to calculate better risk/reward when he passes the ball,that would make the primary difference for his nba carreer.

Re: The Anthony Black Thread
I like that he makes quick decisions and doesn't hold the ball.

Garbage pick. Perimeter players with no jumper are defective.

I’ve watched basketball this decade. Just sag off a bad shooter and you’re playing 5 on 4.

Re: The Anthony Black Thread
The only exciting part of the draft. High upside, high IQ, multi positional defender, gets to the line unlike Fultz.
You have to go for upside at #6.

He knows how to play point rather than looking like a bull in a China shop.

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.
