GoneWiththeBreeze Walk-on

Leadership.

This year they are not their just his weaknesses:

1. sloooooooow 2. Terrible foul shooting 3. Terrible finisher (did have a good layup tonight) 4. No length

We need him get himself into the game just seems a bit absent.

There were games last year he was our best player. This year there are times

RalphWiggam

I think the injury really rusted him up. Does not look like last year’s Hall yet

Big Daddy D

Jan 7, 10:54pm

He has no feel for the game this year.

Archaea

Jan 7, 10:54pm

yeah last year he was our primary ball handler/facilitator and he rose to the

Last year he had too many turnovers

You are thinking of Spencer Johnson. He was picked from behind a lot

bdizzle

Jan 8, 1:40am

No. That rarely happened to Dallin and he had an insane AST/TO ratio to end the

You’re spot on

#2 is not true

Remigius

Jan 7, 10:58pm

Last 3 games he’s had 2 total shot attempts inside the arc!!! 3 games, 2 shot

gocougs719

Jan 7, 11:00pm

Which is why he had 1 assist. He picks up his dribble 30’ from the hoop.

dtownCoug

That stat doesn’t tell the whole story

Remigius

Jan 8, 9:40am

He doesn't finish well, at least not this year.

Archaea

Jan 8, 12:34pm

Go find 3 total clips this year of him beating his man, scoring or assisting...

gocougs719

Jan 8, 2:28pm

#2 is true, even my wife has noticed. He is slow bringing the ball down

76.5% from the free throw line needs to be better

Remigius

Jan 8, 11:52am

He was 63% last year. This year he's 76% but hasn't shot much.

Tio

I'd take Hall over Baker every time. Baker shouldn't be getting minutes.

KayakCoug

Jan 7, 11:45pm

Baker seems like he should not play much. Really bad at D and effort.

GoneWiththeBreeze

Jan 7, 11:53pm

Baker can create his own shot; a skill this team lacks

Parker Schnabel

Jan 8, 1:29pm

He also can dribble and lose the ball, and he is a free lane to the hoop on a

Archaea

Jan 8, 2:30pm

I wish I could argue...but I can't. Unfortunately, we have a lot of guys who

Parker Schnabel

Jan 8, 4:39pm

Ohh disagree, Baker can create and shoot. Hasn’t gotten the minutes to flow

gocougs719

Jan 7, 11:59pm

Career averages against terrible teams. He's not a big 12 guy.

KayakCoug

Jan 8, 2:03am

You do realize Baker is averaging more ppg in fewer minutes than Hall this yr?

ldssdl

Jan 8, 7:14am

Go back and watch the game last night

gocougs719

Jan 8, 9:34am

Agreed. Both by the numbers and the eye test, Baker has been more productive.

ldssdl

Jan 8, 9:39am

I don’t think you’ve seen a large enough sample size

gocougs719

Jan 8, 12:05am

Hall has the ability and has proven it last year. He got off to a slow start

KayakCoug

Jan 8, 2:04am

I'd take Baker over Hall

Dynomite

Jan 8, 11:00am

As complementary scorer/playmaker to Egor? Yes. As backup PG? No. That's Hall's.

GoneWiththeBreeze

Jan 7, 11:52pm

He’s had two layups attempts in B12 play (3 games).giving nothing at basket

gocougs719

Jan 8, 12:00am

Well, he's not a real dangerous man at it. Not wise to risk it too often.

SinkingQuffa

Jan 8, 2:13am

What I see is a kid who’s always dominated the ball having a hard time adjusting

palangi

Jan 8, 12:03am

I think it’s not so simple

gocougs719

Jan 8, 12:07am

I agree, it’s not simple at all and I do think he’s mentally wrecked

palangi

Jan 8, 12:21am

I think wrecked is way too strong a word. He's thinking too much.

SinkingQuffa

Jan 8, 5:17am

He needs his role defined better.

Plantagenet

Jan 8, 11:29am

He's less sure of his role & the offense than he was last season.

SinkingQuffa

Jan 8, 2:10am

Hall benefitted from Popes high ball screens and overall team movement. And

Catching a jumps off the page to me. His upside is so high. 19 min last night

gocougs719

Jan 8, 9:32am

He was pretty bad last night. Looked completely lost.

ochobeeguy

Jan 8, 10:47am

I thought he attacked the basket really well

puntersarepeople

Jan 8, 11:00am

Hall's more versatile than you're giving him credit for. He'll adjust.

SinkingQuffa

Jan 8, 9:32am

I hope he does because I like Hall a lot but we’re in 2nd week of January.

palangi

Jan 8, 10:03am

He's not the only one struggling with his role — not by a long shot.

SinkingQuffa

I didn’t say he was. We also needed him to not struggle given his experience

palangi

Jan 8, 10:35am

Listen to KY's postgame comments.

gocougs719

Jan 8, 11:48am

I heard that & agree. Baker over Hall as playmaker & scorer but NOT as backup PG

SinkingQuffa

This!
