Anthony Black

Black is one of the youngest players in Orlando Magic history at the time of his selection, having been born in 2004 — the same year Dwight Howard was drafted first overall by the franchise.

His 6-foot-10 wingspan on a 6-foot-7 frame gives him the defensive versatility profile that modern NBA teams target in the lottery: size, length, and instincts at the guard position.

Black was among the most sought-after recruits in the 2022 class, receiving offers from virtually every major college basketball program before choosing the Razorbacks.

He grew up in Coppell, Texas, in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex — a basketball-rich region that has produced multiple lottery picks in recent draft classes.
