To me, it's not that I don't think he's good.

I just worry about his health and also see Hall, Demin, Fous, Catchings, etc. who I think will be primary scorers ahead of him.

I know that the freshmen will be freshmen, and I really don't know what to expect from them scoring wise, but I just think there are a lot of other options who potentially will be ahead of Baker.

Wow, that's interesting. Not sure how he came up with those numbers.

JJCoug

He's been at 100% for a full month now and practicing with the team.

Jun 19, 9:48am

He was practicing with the team all of last year too.

Not exactly, he had a second surgery that sidelined him for months.

He was “healthy” and practicing/playing with a broken bone

Blue2thebone

But was never 100% after his initial injury. He was trying to play through it.

Jun 19, 10:04am

That's my point.

But by his own admission, the first surgery on his foot before the season wasn't

basman

Not true. He was out for long stretches twice while recuperating from surgery…

On #2, he's following the way this usually plays out. FR aren't typically the

100% agree on the freshmen expectations. Good point that it's new to us.

I'd be surprised if Dawson Baker is BYU's leading scorer.

IdahoCoug

Jun 19, 9:44am

Me too, but I think he'll be top 3. And probably off the bench too as 6th man

He is way better than people realize

Baker will be prepared mentally if the body is ready to go.

I expect a cluster at the top and he'll be among them.

Belboz

IF he's healthy, big IF, I could totally see it. He can do things no one on

Mitty

If he is back to his pre injury form Baker’s easily a 15+ ppg guy

CycloneCoug

Jun 19, 9:53am

Not sure if 15ppg, but double figures for sure if healthy.

Thrill

Jun 19, 10:30am

Dawson has averaged double figures every healthy year of his college career.

Jun 19, 9:55am

Baker would have been a top portal recruit if he had been healthy. We're lucky..

runnincoug

Jun 19, 10:00am

Against big west competition. Not to say I don’t think he’s a good player

It's crazy, with all the recruiting news Baker is kind of forgotten.

porl thompson

Jun 19, 10:43am

if we had to "rate" him, he'd probably be a at least high 3* based on..

Small ball line up

I'm not sure Mag, Keba, or Fous can be on the floor at the same time

Jun 19, 12:55pm

If this ends up being close to how it goes, then Denim and Catchings will be

Blew

That's like half the players in the draft every year, so wouldn't be surprising

Napoleon, like anyone can even know that

His projections for Demin, Catchings, and Crawford seem, uh, off.

BlooCoug

Maybe for Demin, but not sure about Catchings and Crawford.

At the fathers/sons camp three weeks ago, Dawson said he felt like he was around

I think Dawson will pick up KY's scheme and execution faster than Dallin Hall

BlueZone

Jun 19, 2:58pm

lol this is kind of funny. Not sure where he’s getting this, but no…

nitestal

He's getting it from players' actual production and numbers from prior years.

jreid191

Jun 19, 8:22pm

Yes I thought he was probably projecting from his previous team…
