Leaky Black

Leaky Black is a defense-first wing who made his name at North Carolina, where he played a school-record 155 games and earned ACC All-Defensive honors twice as one of the league's premier stoppers. At 6-8 he guards multiple positions and connects an offense as a smart passer — the lingering questions have always been about his shot and scoring punch. Undrafted in 2023, he spent his rookie year on a two-way with Charlotte before moving into Washington's system. He spent the entire 2025-26 season in the G League with the Capital City Go-Go, and the encouraging wrinkle is on offense: he averaged about 10 points, hit nearly two threes a game, and added eight-plus rebounds with strong steal numbers. For a player whose calling card was defense, that jump-shooting growth is the swing skill that could pull him back to the NBA.
