His body of work is extremely sparse, and his previous competition level was in a low ranking basketball conference.
What is it that makes a number people believe he will be a major contributor and at what position, the 2 guard? He is from Coto de Caza, a wealthy town known for expensive homes and lots of rich people. Not exactly the sort of environment known for spawning great basketball players.
I am fascinated how some relatively obscure player often becomes the pet player for a number of fans. Of the two players who seem similar, I would put more stock into Knell than Baker. The body of work is much larger for Knell and it seems as if it's been a long time trying to get Baker healthy.
