Genuine question as he’s pretty much only playing garbage time through 4 games. Seems kind of weird for a young team to not play their 6th overall pick

I never understood the pick even on draft night as he seemed like a poor fit with the roster given his lack of shooting but can Magic fans explain?

    Black is still a rookie for a team that has plenty of guards.

    Also, from what I can tell, the Magic wanted Ausar Thompson since he could play next to any guard and Wagner+Banchero while having potential as a 30% 3 pt guy.

    They didn’t need Walker, Bilal, Whitmore, or Hendricks due to having Wagner and Banchero.

    Black was the closest thing they had after Ausar was drafted #5.

    Imo, they should’ve tried trading that pick away.
