All very predictable

Let's keep a running tally on which guy takes more PG reps.

It's 1-1 Cole/Black so far.

Nope

2nd string struggling... Black might not be in the rotation when the season starts.

Starters did what they needed to do. Bench has been lackluster.

His ability to stick with fast guards is really impressive.

This is why offense will always beat defense. Niang and Jerome are able to score on top flight defenders issac and black.

I've noticed that he's surprised players that try to get by him.

Not really. He had enough time to dribble and pull-up.

It’s also not in his range.

Cole is in the perfect role for his skill set. Come off the bench. Play on the ball. Get buckets against backups. Rinse and repeat.

He needs to navigate screens better, also seems over eager on challenges, and hesitant on the ball.

Does that actually matter though? Who is actually handling the ball more?

And when Fultz comes back in, if it mirrors the first game, he will come back in for Cole, not Black. We've been through this :lol:

Black looks like he is lacking confidence in everything he does. We’ll see how this goes but I can see him not getting much playing time early on… and that’s not great… but if the goal is to win, he doesn’t appear ready to be able to do that. Offense is a struggle and his defense, while good, isn’t game changing from what I’m seeing right now.
