Tarik Black ranked number 10 on NBA.com's Rookie Ladder

i swear his offensive potential is greater of that of dwight...

 

Black is basically Patrick Patrrson but can't shoot, score

..too little result from a highly intispiated draft so far

 

Why is Joey Dorsey worse than this guy

why morey why

 

Not sure how Black is ahead of Pap... Whateves

 

No hate here. Black is doing just fine. But by way of playmaking and defense Kostas has been a more impactful player even if he's still finding his range.

 

He isn't. He is a rotation guy on a team with a lot of injuries and is competing for a title.

But do not let facts get in the way of your negativity.

That being said i would prefer to have 1 more quality big man of the bench.

 

My thoughts exactly. Black has been really bad this season and Papa has been really good.

 

I don't know if I would say Pap has been really good, but he has been a productive rotation player with the potential to become really good.

Black on the other hand has been terrible. Aside from the occasional rebound he isn't really good for anything. I don't think I've ever seen a player ignored to the degree he gets ignored on offense. It's not his fault he's sucks, but he has sucked, being undrafted doesn't entitle him to a participation pat on the back.

 

I don't think most people actually hate Black. To me, I hate the fact that Dorsey's incompetence propelled Black to the backup center spot. Black is a third string material.

K-Papa is fascinating to many people because of his flashes of brilliance. He is wildly inconsistent and extremely streaky. In a way, he is a smaller version of Motiejunas. Yep, another curious case. :grin:

 

Tarik bumped up to #7. Kostas enters at #9.

only because dwight already developed to his full potential.....

 

Shooting is the last thing to come for rookies, and he isnt use to the NBA 3 point line. The shooting will eventually come, and he is playing every other aspect of the game pretty well for the most part. I cant really see any reason to be down on him at this point unless the expectations were too high.

 

It'd be funny if that actually happened. CFers would fall of our collective chair laughing. :grin:

 

What they say about Big Pappa

 

Black's hand seemed to be really hurting in the second half last game.

 

Last nights player of the game deserves some love. He anchored the defense last night in a game that may have been the best team defense game I have seen all year.

 

This dude is so underrated on this board. Contributes by sheer hustle alone.

 

Black Thunder is on a roll. I love his attitude. This kid has the right head for basketball, I only hope he continues to improve and grow.

 

This is the first time I've entered this thread...people dislike Black? Really? Y'all must be watching a different player than me...
