This kid has a great attitude and a positive outlook:


He will be with the team vs Denver!
Quote:
"I took it positively. I can't take it hard," he said. "I don't apply pressure to myself. You can apply pressure to yourself in some abstract ways, and that's one of them. Thinking, 'Well I should take it hard because I was just cut. What am I going to do?'

"That's not my style. I just play the game. I play as hard as I can. Somebody will like me if I play as hard as I can. Somebody will pick me up. Somebody will give me an opportunity and if they don't, then I just probably wasn't good enough to do it, but thus far it hasn't been proven yet."

Can he set solid picks and roll hard to the basket?

That's basically all he does offensively (his O arsenal is limited) but he's pretty good at PnR.

Tarik Black will wear #28 and probably won't play in Denver on Tuesday.

Never a good sign when Mitch Kupchak is taller than our Center. He's 6'9''.


Luckily we don't need him to rebound and block shots with his head

GOOD POINT!

He's not much on shot blocking but is a tenacious rebounder.

His game is simple. He’s strong. He boxes out. He rotates on defense. His game is within 5′ of the hoop. He doesn’t try to play outside of the context of his natural talent.
He hustles. He knows exactly what to provide for the team in the absence of a starting center. This makes him an excellent role player.

Does Tarik provide any rim protection? At least better than Sacre?

I'm getting tired of a seven footer who can't move his feet and can't jump.

You don't have to be 7ft to take charges...Tarik can probably do that.

But isn't Tarik a rookie? Won't he get the same DNP treatment Clarkson gets?

Can Tarik contribute right away?

He is a rook & won't be a savior by any means.
He's not a great rim protector but he is a good physical defender and a high energy guy.

The second Byron quote sounds like he just repeated what he said in the preseason when describing Boozer.

You may not be the only one (although the post below may have been in jest)

Gotta love the small centers in today's NBA. The Point Guards are getting big while the Centers are shrinking.

We are in the top half of the league in blocked shots as is.

The fact the Lakers already have Hill, Davis, Boozer and Sacre leads me to believe either Hill, Davis or Sacre will be dealt at the deadline, unless Black is a dud. Sacre for 2 second rounds picks works for me.
