Whats up with Anthony Black? (alien.top)

Genuine question as he’s pretty much only playing garbage time through 4 games. Seems kind of weird for a young team to not play their 6th overall pick

I never understood the pick even on draft night as he seemed like a poor fit with the roster given his lack of shooting but can Magic fans explain?

The real question is why take him with the 6th pick when the roster is so guard heavy

how many times have GMs get killed for not taking BPA

Picking a guy who is an absolutely abysmal fit on a team doesn’t mean he’s automatically the best player available, therefore making it a good pick.

But even in a world where Anthony Black was the best player, is there any way he would look good in lineups without any shooting whatsoever and with every other player on the court wanting on-ball reps? Their reluctance to factor in fit whatsoever is creating an environment that compromises player’s developments.

Yeah, I don't understand why people are asking this question. If you think Black is going to be the best guy, then it's ridiculous to pass on him because you already have guys like Fultz, Suggs, and Anthony on the roster.

Black wasn’t the BPA

From your perspective, we’re talking from their perspective.
