When you throw a guy in the corner, or when you get a guy to be 3 and D for that matter, dont you want them to space the floor and knock down threes? Black only attempted 2.6 threes per game in 35 minutes and made them at 30% clip (they were probably wide open too). I mean if im playing against Blacks team then im HOPING that his team has him chillin on the three point line without the ball. I would tell my players to not even guard him. Leave him open out there and hope he shoots it. Beg him to shoot it.
Man I just looked at his stats for the first time and im surpised how poor they are. Played lots of minutes (35 per game) so I expected high assist numbers if nothing else. 3.9 assists is WAY less than I was expecting. 5 rebounds is decent. 70.5% from the free throw line isn't going to cut it. 45% from the field is a little subpar for me. 30% from three isn't good. 3 turnovers per game is bad. 2.1 steals is great though.
From what I can tell looking at stats is that Black is a poor shooter, doesn't get many assists, turns it over too much (basically same amount of turnovers vs assists), is a decent rebounder and good defender with good size. That aint doing it for me. I was shocked by the assist to turnover ratio. I knew he was a poor shooter but thought he would average like 8 or 9 assists and 1-2 turnovers. I was already sour on him but now even more so.
