the Samford guard whose value shows up beyond the box score
Jason Black was a 6-4 guard at Samford whose game was defined by composure, pace control, and toughness rather than big scoring totals. In his Samford career, he averaged 2.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game, but a 2006 Samford preview also noted he had the potential to be one of the team’s top players after battling two knee injuries that limited his minutes. He looks like the kind of steady, coach-trusted fit who can bring energy, versatility, and edge, even if he’s not a stat-sheet bully.
