Anthony Black provides the Magic a big, selfless passer who can run P&R, or move without the ball too. The main concern is his jump shot. But the Magic have so many sources of offense they can move Black around the floor. pic.twitter.com/c0Nu1GC7Eq – 8:48 PM

Anthony Black felt like the right pick for Orlando as a higher-upside PG prospect over the current Magic ball-handlers, but also as an interchangeable G/F. With Black, Franz, Paolo, that’s three guys over 6-6 who can handle. – 8:46 PM

With the Magic drafting Anthony Black at No. 6, have to wonder what happens next for their guard rotation.
Not enough adequate minutes to go around between Black, Markelle Fultz, Jalen Suggs, and Cole Anthony.
Orlando could be very active in trade talks soon. – 8:43 PM

I wonder if Washington would still take Anthony Black at 8 if he’s available, to pair him with Jordan Poole. – 3:14 PM

Some Jazz draft thoughts today:
– This isn’t a report, no one from the Jazz have told me this. But the scuttlebutt from league folks about the Jazz is that they’re most interested in Jarace Walker or Anthony Black. On the other hand, they’re said to be low on Cam Whitmore. – 12:45 PM

Anthony Black is one of the top local NBA prospects who will be taken high in Thursday’s draft. Will he be there when the Mavericks draft 10th?

The subsequent question now is: What are the Wizards’ intentions with the futures of their point guards? They now have Tyus Jones, Monté Morris and Delon Wright all under contract for 2023-24, plus Chris Paul (for now, anyway). And w/the 8th pick, they might select Anthony Black. – 12:29 AM

Soooooo … does the Wizards getting Tyus Jones in the new Kristaps deal indicate a concern that Anthony Black wasn’t gonna be there at 8? If not, does this change their approach if he is there at 8? – 12:05 AM

More on this storyline
Black’s camp initially showed resistance to working out for the Magic, sources said, because of Orlando’s perceived logjam in the backcourt with a trio of first-round guards in Markelle Fultz, Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony. Anthony will become extension eligible this summer and is considered to have a great relationship with the Magic front office, but Orlando has left various personnel with the impression that drafting a guard like Ausar or Black would lead the Magic to exploring trade opportunities for one of Suggs or Anthony. -via Yahoo!
