Based on film I think he's the most complete scorer on the roster.
Seems efficient from all 3 levels and has the ability to take defenders 1 on 1.

For CB? That it will take some time for this team to gel and develop chemistry.

Why are so many CBers very high on Baker? This from past film? Practice?

DB career: 2FG 50%, 3FG 37.0%, A/TO 0.8; DH: 48%, 36.2%, 2.4 vs. better comp

So Baker shoots better from two despite taking a higher difficulty of shots

His shooting % is marginally better vs weaker comp w/ much worse A/TO rate

Baker was taking much harder looks at much higher volume

Not happening with Cooper Flagg. Top 3 is possible, though.

Catchings is more raw than some here realize and plays no more than 12-17 mpg.

Shouldn't surprise if Baker is strongest returning player. But it will. Eli Bryant is a good comp. Primary differences

Why should we expect >40 3FG%?

Those are my expectations. It'll be good if it surprises others.

I think the jump would be based on having more open three point shots

So you expect DB to get more open looks against B12 competition vs Big West?
BYU'01
Jun 20, 5:12pm
I expect him to only take shots when he has good looks. At Irvine, he was star primary scorer. He's going to be good,

Led UC Irvine in 1 of his 3 seasons, by 0.3 PPG. Was ~20% of their shots & PPG.

Yes. He has some great teammates and will be in a system designed to get wide

Yes, but Baker does much more well than shoot 3s, Cougar Nation is sure to enjoy discovering. He's a high level player,

You’re mostly right but a versatile big man at 6’11”+ would put us over the top

I agree on “versatile” however, that’s typically not what CBers are calling for…
