Skill-wise, we absolutely need his scoring & shooting. With Demin on the court, he might prove a better option at 1
than even Dallin in many lineups.
If we'd landed Lanier I'd probably admit that your post could prove true in the camp battles — but with how our roster currently stands — assuming Baker remains healthy — there's no way he's not in the rotation, imo.
He'll win minutes over the likes of Knell & Richie as a ball-handler — & he'll win minutes over both of them — & over Dallin & Demin even — because of the level of dynamic shooting he brings to the table.
In my rather strong opinion.
He gets to the rim very willingly & effectively, too.
