Sounds like the kind of player who will get rewarded with a 20 game stretch of starting for the Lakers.

Hopefully he could be our hustle/garbageman type of player for us. Limited offensively but a great defender. I can see a Leon Powe like type of game

I don't care about his scoring, but if he can be the rim protector and defensive player that Hill is not, I think we have a chance to be a much better team with him starting in place of Hill.

Leon powe didn't play much defense. He was a scorer who would get on a hot scoring streak.

Yeah.... I diff see some similarities between Tarik Black and AC Green both have a neck for the ball and tend to hustle most of the time.

Don't expect to see him start instead of Hill.

Well my hope is that Hill gets traded...in which case, I would think he would take over for Hill.

If Hill is still here, then I hope he takes some playing time away from him.

But you go after the ball one level less than someone who has a head for the ball?

Kind of a catch 22, Hill needs minutes so he can be showcased, but you also want to see what Black can do.

You're right. I guess my point is that I would gladly take better defense from the position than extra offense that Hill might be able to give at the cost of being the horrible defensive liability that he is.

The 2nd highlight makes it seem he'll be a solid pick and roll option for Lin with the bench. Which means no more Sacre!!!

I'd laugh if Black ended up with the starters with Davis and always was taken out when Lin came in just like Davis is.

I am still shocked that Morey released him if he had a trade worked out as was reported.

And of course, that guy just misses out to a guy with a nose for the ball.
