Why does this remind me of Youtube vidoes of kids spending tens of hours trying to make a trick shot; pen in a tube type stuff.

I doubt they would trade Black. Wendell is 5 years older and Cole is 4 years older. You already know what you have with those 2.

If you have any real perspective, you'd know what we have with AB.

People say Bigs that can't shoot have no place in today's NBA. What does that say about a guard that can't shoot or dribble? And that was a rhetorical question. No need for a response.

Black has improved nearly every month this season, and he'll keep improving for the next 2-3 years.

If it's a given that he's been improving every single month (which, let’s be honest, simply isn’t true), then why hasn’t there been a single month this season where he even matched his season average 3P% from last year?
Progress isn’t always a straight line. Sometimes it stalls, sometimes it reverses. MCW had a nice rookie season, never had another season as good as that

47/42/78 with 1.3 spg and 1.0 bpg over the last 20 games.

44/39/81 in February
46/39/80 in March
45/43/73 in April

I was talking about his ball handling and shooting. He even looks like he improved his vertical and is dunking easier. His FT shooting has improved. He will get stronger the next couple of seasons and be able to get into players more on defense.

Your numbers are just wrong. In April, Black was shooting 41/33/78 (including play in game. RS only would be 23% 3P)
And my case is a fact. Not a single month he shot better 3P% than last years average. Him "improving every month" is nothing you can back up statwise.

April stats. I like the 1.6 spg and 1.3 bpg.

MCW was also 1 year older than Black is right now at the beginning of his rookie season.

Got it, yours includes the play-in game, while the 33% I mentioned is just regular season. Let’s see how it holds up this month. So far, in all six completed months, he’s been below last season’s average.

That said, I honestly don’t put much weight into stats from the final month of the regular season. Most teams aren’t really trying anymore. I still remember RJ putting up like 15 PPG and getting Rookie of the Month, people around here were convinced he was a future star and our starting SG for years to come :P

I thought any potential he had was at PG. He wasn't big enough to play SG.

And had no skills to play PG. Only chance he had was to become a 3&D

Cole is great when he is on and his scoring off the bench is something the magic can really use. But dude is just too inconsistent.

I still hold my opinion that I think Cole is underrated by many here. He is not a star but he could be a factor in the game especially with his shot making. He should easily be our sixth man of the team. Cole's biggest problem is not his skill or talent, it is his consistency especially from game to game. But I think he should be fine. IMO he is a bigger offensive thread than AB and KCP on the floor. So he is the sixth man. I can even make a wild claim here. He could be a star. Don't hack me... :wink:
