2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Tony Jones seems to believe in Anthony Black playing at the 1. I've been a bit dubious due to his inconsistent shooting and scoring off the dribble. But if you want someone to move the ball, defend, plus finish at the rim, I guess it can work.

I can't see him being a primary ball handler much at the NBA level, except maybe he could be slotted as one next season for us. To see if he can become one. And if we are tanking from the first preseason tip, or for some weird reason planning on trading the Finnisher before he asks to be traded.
Black is not elite offensively in any way that I have seen. His defense is his only lottery level card, and if it were me, I would have to see significant improvement as a p/n ball handler after drafting him as the BPA late lottery, to expect him on ball much besides by committee. He isn't the next Giddey either imo, although that might be his style of play goals doesn't have the same vision.

I don’t think he’s currently projected as an NBA player but Tyler Kolek is one of my favorite players to watch in college basketball. 3rd in the country in APG with 8.0. Doesn’t score a ton but when needed he can score 20 with ease. Has 20 points (9/11) and 4 assists at half against #12 Xavier.

Anthony Black has great vision. He hasn't played well the last couple games..

Even Giddey normally plays off the ball when Shai is on the court, and Giddey is an elite passer.
