Anthony Black’s defense is crucial for Orlando Magic’s future
When the Orlando Magic took Anthony Black with the sixth overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, they got many things.
They got an athletic oversized guard who can fly past defenders and get to the rim. But they also got a very talented and smart defender. To some, Black might be the best defender in the draft class.
That is surely one of the things the Magic were looking for when they selected the 6-foot-7 guard. Orlando has valued players with positional versatility like Black. And they are going to love using him to defend every wing position.
