UNC’s glue-guy defender with elite versatility
Leaky Black’s calling card in the 2022-23 season was impact that went way beyond scoring: he averaged 7.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks while starting all 33 games, a rare combo for a forward[2][7]. UNC’s roster notes also highlight his career playmaking-to-turnover profile, plus the fact that the Tar Heels were 34-5 over the last three seasons when he had three or more assists[1]. If you want a long, switchable defender who does the dirty work, stabilizes lineups, and brings veteran toughness, Black is your guy—less glam, more winning.
