I would argue he needs the keys to a team's offense. Unlimited reps and unlimited shots. No way this kid is worse than Cade Cunningham **** 6 turnovers a game.
Reminder I have/had Black as my #2 player this year pre-draft (viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2291507). I'm ready to die on this mole hill.
His role model should actually be Jason Kidd, imo--e.g., push the ball, pass over the top of the defense, be a threat to drive, hit spot-ups when he's left open, etc. But he'd need to be a fantastic floor general to make up for his ho-hum shooting.
....Of course, the counter-argument is that the same could have been said for Michael Carter-Williams, and that even some of the best playmaking guards, like say Ricky Rubio, couldn't overcome the lack of shooting. So, I'd have to agree that his future depends upon whether he's enough of a shooting threat for defenses to take him seriously.
