Can we just stop with this? Mag isn’t the defensive wizard he was hyped to be

He was getting beat off the dribble left and right against weaker competition in games with Queen, UCR, Idaho, etc. Ole Miss has a really good guard line, Mag isn’t going to stay in front of them. Coaches realize this and as a result we’re seeing Mag’s playing time decrease as the level of competition increases.

He is definitely not 100% athletically back to where he was. He may never be, but it is extremely

I agree. I don’t like Baker at all. He does nothing if he’s not making shots

Very similar things can be said of Knell. Thankfully he made his shots late, but

He shot 20% tonight

He hasn't had an issue with turnovers.

This is way premature. People said the same thing about Fouss before the season,

I’ll take him over knell 10 out of 10 times

That's why most of us disregard your BB commentaries...

Knell has been a solid player chosen for PT by two really good coaches…

Yes. It will be interesting as the season progresses.

I assume KY is playing the long game, investing minutes in players who we'll need this year

He is better than he showed tonight

JoeExotic

Nov 28, 7:16pm

People keep saying this yet he really hasn’t shown well at all

kotacoug

Nov 28, 7:18pm

At all means never, but he's scored double digits twice and led the team once, so you're inaccurate

lol I love how you try to put parameters on my statement….a few points against

It seems you hate (and love) too easily...maybe be more judicious on how you dole either out

What he has shown is, that he is the best guard slasher out side of demin.

that was everyone on the team coming into this game

If baker and knell don't play, we win by 8 in regulation.

indocoug

Nov 28, 7:17pm

Knell had 8 points, Baker 0. Not following your logic.

"I only see Dawson playing good against weak teams"

Nov 28, 7:22pm

Agree keep hearing he is good and have seen a few flashes but overall

Baker brought some physicality and pushed the ball into the paint...

Plantagenet

Nov 28, 8:47pm

And the fouls he got seemed pretty weak.

JuicyJam

Nov 28, 9:21pm

good thing you aren't coaching this team

mindzeYe

It’s one game

KYU

Nov 28, 10:44pm

He didn't play great tonight. Luckily coaches know a lot more about the team than all of us.

kimdaddy35

Nov 28, 11:45pm

Baker had four rebounds. Hall had one.

Threw and Through

12:02am

Easy. He handles & creates. Don't know what you were watching, but he put pressure on the paint when

He was going to be the magic according to CB preseason. How quickly we turn.

coolblue

Magic woulda been landing Lanier. Because we DIDN'T land Lanier, we need for Baker to grow his role & minutes.

SinkingQuffa

6:02am

Magic was landing demon

KYU

9:25am

Had Lanier signed, we'd likely have both. What Lanier woulda given us was a level-up in attacking the rim,

He has an impressive D1 resume to go along with that, though — if that's indeed the case.

He’s this years version of Waterman in 22~23 season.

BYUHgrad

I like his energy and hustle, just loses his mind some times. Much better today.

GoodBetterBestBYU

His 9 points helped, today.He will be better as they gel together

Baker is a heck of a player, he's pressing a lot.

This is a lame, passive-aggressive post.

Spursnation

Played decent today. Everyone has a bad game or two. Give him a chance

He's a strong player.
