Probably highest basketball IQ in the draft. Elite passer and playmaker.
I dont see any of that, to be honest. Hes taller than most pg so hes able to see over some defenses and make some passes, but i just dont see what you see. Ive tried to like him i just cant.
You have every right to have your own wrong opinion.
I think Anthony Black is an OK passer and maybe even better if you do the "for being 6'7" qualifier, but I do not agree that he is an elite passer and I this is where the common comparisons of Lonzo/Giddey fall apart. Those guys are truly elite passers and would still be considered elite if they were 6'1. If we're considering Black elite we're tossing the term around to loosely IMO.
I thought Cason was just as good and probably a better passer/playmaker than Black this year, but I don't see anyone calling him an elite passer and player. Nor should they.

This is just a taste of what he did this year.

This is a great breakdown about his IQ/passing/playmaking. He’s definitely elite as the ball handler in PNR’s.

This would be a nearly perfect draft scenario in my estimation:
Yes it would too bad Wallace won’t fall to 16. If he fell anywhere past like 12/13 I would be calling to try and move up for him.
I know im right about black, but we will see. If im wrong i will acknowledge your greatness publicly. Hope you do the if the shoe is on the other foot. Black and Dick i want no part of at 9. 16 ok, but not 9.
I really don’t know what you guys aren’t seeing with Black. He’d be so perfect for our team. I would consider moving up to around 7 if that’s what it would take to get him.
Please god
Bidding against yourself if you think you have to move up to get Black.

I like him... but also I watched a lot of Arkansas games... so if someone is iffy on him I get it. Team had just no shooting and it was continual drives to nowhere. It would not surprise me if he is one of the players that benefits most from NBA spacing and NBA shooting.
The other thing that Musselman hinted at is that Anthony had been dealing with an ankle injury for a while... and I kinda wonder when exactly that started.
I think him and Wallace are pretty much neck and neck but I think Black has more upside. If he figures it out you have a 6-7 pg and can do a lot of different things lineup wise.
