I only see one the percentage for one player in your post. Im gonna need the percentage of the other player in the comparison in order to compare them. Also gonna need volume of attempts.
Cason was dealing with a lot of injuries in SEC play and it tanked his stats.
it is. he was at 24% in SEC play - and yes, he was dealing with injuries, but it's impossible to know how much of that was nagging injury related and how much is just issues with his shooting. it's a concern whether you want to admit it or not.It's not
I think its a bigger concern for Black. Cason is really good catch and shoot iirc. His numbers in the midrange are good too. With Black if you watched the games he could shoot a three probably whenever he wanted. It wasn't just that they sagged off of him but that they had zero shooting... so watching him in game I kept thinking just shoot the pullup a couple times when the drop way under the screen.It’s a concern for both yet I only see it being brought up as negative for Black.
I personally think Black is the better defender and passer plus he’s bigger. Not much of a comparison.

I will be very happy if we take him but he was a bit of an enigma at Arkansas. I'm completely split on them. I think they are both likely good players and Black might be the higher ceiling guy. If he's there at #9 I'm good taking him and if he works well and the shot comes around he creates amazing basketball flexibility... which can be this teams superpower. If he doesn't then it hurts the flexibility of what you can do.
I think the Kentucky guard thing is now real too... its just happened too often. Washington may end up making this choice for us.
I agree... but Cason also had a post heavy offense... and I know since you play how annoying that can be to work with as a perimeter player.Black was dealing with the worst spacing I’ve ever seen.
Wasn't an attack... Arkansas was one of the few teams I watched a bunch this year. I agree their spacing was wildly bad... even for college basketball.I’ve watched more Arkansas games than anyone on here. Like I said if Black shot a good percentage from 3 we wouldn’t even be discussing him as an option. He has the best IQ in the draft and is the best passer in the draft.
Wiz are the pivot point... and they currently don't have a GM... its anyone's guess what they do.If it's a choice between those 2 I think Ainge would take Black due to his size.
I think there's a good chance the Wizards take one of them so a guy like Hendricks/Ausur/Whitmore potentially falls to the Jazz.
they give A+ effort, and both have high bball IQs. they each have concerns with their games especially on offense, but with either one you are getting dudes who are going to get after it, work hard, play smart and get it done on the defensive end.I was the original Black defender but at some point in the season I just had such a hard time watching them. It would not take much to get me back on the train.
Another thing with these guys... both seem like A+ kids with A+ attitudes.
Thats good to hear. I hadn't much about that yet.Another thing with these guys... both seem like A+ kids with A+ attitudes.
