Jamahl Mosley: Anthony Black has a special ability to guard/push the pace

Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley talked about what he notices when Anthony Black is playing at his best after Tuesday’s 144-103 NBA Cup road win vs. the Philadelphia 76ers (31 points/1 rebound/3 assists/1 steal/12-17 FG/8-11 2-PT/4-6 3-PT/3-4 FT/+31 +/- in 28 minutes off the bench).

*set career-highs in points and field goals made*

*tied career-best for three-pointers made*

(via Orlando Magic):

“There’s a level of aggression about him. There’s a confidence. He has that swagger. You saw the one down in transition where he attacks the lane, gets the dunk over the top. That ability to get downhill and attack the lane and the basket that way is so big for him, and then stepping into his shots with confidence. His ability to guard defensively and then be able to push the pace is just something special for him, and that’s what we need from him.”
