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?

Nine days later, and this hasn't aged well. It appears they are taking it slow with Black, making him earn the minutes, and he's delivering. He has been one of the most efficient players in the league on offense and among the better defenders. His advanced stats also reveal that he is playing at above league-average efficiency with an 18 PER. At just 20 years old, he's really impressive, and Magic fans should thank their lucky stars for landing another exceptionally talented young player.
