I did like Black too though, so I didn’t hate the pick.


Black was never a problem as prospect. Problem is drafting him to a team where everybody else have similar weaknesses.


Black could become the 3rd best player on this team but he doesn’t fit well with what Paolo and Franz need around him.

I wanted Whitmore and Hawkins very badly. I still had faith in Fultz at the time.

Whitmore has proved all his doubters wrong by a mile. He might win 6th man of the year as a rookie. lol

Whitemore’s talent didn’t seem to be in question. But I honestly don’t know why he fell so far.
