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?

Black is still a rookie for a team that has plenty of guards.

Also, from what I can tell, the Magic wanted Ausar Thompson since he could play next to any guard and Wagner+Banchero while having potential as a 30% 3 pt guy.

They didn't need Walker, Bilal, Whitmore, or Hendricks due to having Wagner and Banchero.

Black was the closest thing they had after Ausar was drafted #5.

Imo, they should've tried trading that pick away.

Did you really just claim that having 30% 3 pt potential is a good thing?
