Hornets' Leaky Black: Steps in, knocks down shots
Black chipped in 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across 18 minutes during Friday's 126-106 loss to the Thunder.
Black has compiled just 130 minutes of action across 18 appearances for the Hornets this season, but the rookie two-way player proved to be a key rotation cog Friday. A five-year collegiate player at North Carolina, Black shot 32.6 percent on 2.6 three-pointers per game in his final campaign, so a larger sample size is needed to determine if he can emerge as a capable perimeter shooter at the NBA level.

Black played seven minutes in the loss, seeing action for the fourth straight game. Despite cracking the rotation a few times recently, Black has struggled to have any tangible impact, especially in terms of fantasy numbers. Simply put, there is no reason to consider him a viable fantasy asset.
