The rookie wing from the University of North Carolina will hope to make his presence felt on and off the stat sheet in his first professional season.
Every basketball team needs a player unafraid to put it all on the line without worrying about the aesthetics of their performance on a stat sheet. This season, for the Charlotte Hornets or the Greensboro Swarm, that player may end up being Leaky Black.
At Hornets media day last week, Black spoke about his unique basketball journey and how honored he feels to be suiting up for the team located where he grew up. He also dove into his impact on the court and how he will look to contribute as a rookie. For Black, the name of the game is versatility. "A guy like Draymond has made a great career for himself off of not just being a stat guy," said Black. If the Hornets can get anything close to what Draymond Green provides for the Warriors out of Leaky Black, they will have certainly found an incredibly valuable long-term piece.
"Jordan works me out every single day, Monday through Friday," said Black."He's a player's coach; a great guy to be around. And he's helped me improve my game dramatically so far."
