NBA Draft Report: Anthony Black Of Arkansas (_ZCO on a jumbo guard who impacts both sides of the ball and could become an All-Star if he develops his jumper)
One of the more valuable archetypes in the NBA right now is the jumbo-sized ball handler. The Oklahoma City Thunder seemingly can’t get enough of them, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Josh Giddey all being bigger guys that can handle the rock. There are plenty other examples around the league, but having a player like that can really change a basketball team.
Black is a floor general in every way imaginable and it’s going to be fun to watch him operate with NBA spacing. Black is one of the best pick-and-roll processors in this year’s draft class, as he knows exactly how to attack defenses in those situations. Black is fully capable of hitting roll men with the lob, but he’s also great at threading pocket passes. Black also occasionally uses the pick-and-roll as something of a decoy to find someone that isn’t involved in the play.
Not only is Black great at finding his teammates when attacking in pick-and-roll situations, but he is also a dangerous downhill driver. Black has a quick first step and uses his long steps to glide to the rim. That’s helpful when he is trying to get his own offense off the screen, or when he’s looking to just beat his man in isolatation. Black just needs to work on his finishing a bit.
