I see him as a defensive liability, a rebounding liability, and guy that looks to be a volume shooter. I'm not sure how that translates to a high bball IQ.
And you set up an unreasonable standard: "I see it and if you can't see, you're an idiot" is essentially your argument.
I would need a step by step analysis where he made the right decision in difficult circumstances where multiple decisions were possible. He didn't have enough minutes for anyone to evaluate him. It feels as if people are high on him because he's a local boy.
I wish every player well and may the best players play. I don't have a vested interest and I'm happy if the coaches don't pull the Utah boy must play card.
I kinda believe Knell may be the clue guy, not Baker.
