The Orlando Magic selected former Arkansas Razorbacks guard\u00a0Anthony Black<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0with the No. 6 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Black played one season for the Razorbacks and is now the team\u2019s second one-and-done draftee, following first-rounder\u00a0Moses Moody<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in 2021.<\/p>\n

As a freshman, Black started all 36 of his appearances. The 6-foot-6 guard finished second on the team in points per game and helped them get to the Sweet 16 before falling to eventual champion UConn.<\/p>\n

He averaged 12.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.6 blocks in 34.9 minutes per game. A very solid shot, he went 45.3% from the field, 30.1% from deep and 70.5% from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n

Prior to joining Eric Musselman and the Hogs, Black attended Coppell High School in Duncanville, Texas before moving to Duncanville High School for his senior season.<\/p>\n

He was a consensus five-star prospect and in the top 20 on all major recruiting sites. Black was the No. 15 overall prospect in the nation in the 2022 signing class, according to the\u00a0On3 Consensus<\/a><\/strong>, and the No. 2 recruit out of the Lone Star State, behind only fellow draftee\u00a0Cason Wallace<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Black joins Arkansas\u2019s ever-growing list of NBA\u00a0draft picks<\/a>. They\u2019ve had one in each of the last four drafts \u2013\u00a0Jaylin Williams<\/a><\/strong>, Moody,\u00a0Isaiah Joe<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Daniel Gafford<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 after a drought of four years.<\/p>\n

What NBA Draft experts are saying about Anthony Black<\/h2>\n

Leading up to the draft, analysts pegged Black as a high-to-mid lottery selection. His current player comparisons are\u00a0Cade Cunningham<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Josh Giddey<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Dyson Daniels<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack is an excellent on-ball defender and a willing passer who prefers to set up teammates rather than create his own shot, but his size is his biggest asset,\u201d according to\u00a0RotoWire<\/a>. \u201cBlack is essentially a point guard with the body of a wing, enabling him to work over and around defenders with ease.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a good finisher at the rim and an above-average athlete, but operating as a playmaker in the pick-and-roll is where he\u2019s most comfortable. At this stage in his development, Black is not a great three-point or free-throw shooter, so developing confidence and better mechanics will be a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n
