If you watched the game last night, I don't know how you come on here and say that Black will be anything less than a starter/role player.
AB held Herro
BELOW is FG% AVG,
BELOW his 3pt % AVG
BELOW his FT attempt AVG.
AB also picked his pocket at least 4 times.

Why didn't Mose keep him on the guy that killed us for long enough to slow him down?

* Like how he "locked up" Cade for 4 minutes on his way to 35 pts and 11 assists

* Like he's "considered one of the best defenders in the NBA" while defending Herro and Cade extremely well.

why doesn't he get more time on them...maybe those stats are skewed...we could've used a lockdown guy on Herro, clearly didn't happen that way.

He is an above average defender and as of right now a below average scorer/facilitator. I think he will be great.
