10) Leaky Black

2018-19 stats:

11.2 MPG, 2.9 PPG, 2.2 RPG, 1.3 APG, 0.7 SPG, 0.2 BPG, 0.7 TPG
47.8 FG%, 50.0 3P%, 85.7 FT%

Best game:

11/9 at Elon: Eight points, six rebounds, five assists, 2-of-5 shooting, and 4-of-5 from the free throw line

Advanced data:

After playing 15 or more minutes in four of the Tar Heels’ first seven games, Black has had one such game in the 12 contests since; probably an indication of the increased level of competition in ACC play.

9: The number of offensive rebounds Black has on the season. For comparison’s sake, that’s more than Coby White has (6), despite playing 239 fewer minutes.

Synopsis:

Black is going to be a really good college basketball player. There’s little doubt about that. His combination of height, length, athleticism and ball-handling skills has already helped him display just how versatile he can be. He’s got Theo Pinson written all over him.
