He was our only creator gassing Providence for example. Got to rim against Houston. Where has Hall been? He won’t go inside the arc

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

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

He has no feel for the game this year.

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

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

#2 is not true

Remigius

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

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

That stat doesn’t tell the whole story

Remigius

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

Archaea

12:34pm

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

gocougs719

#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

11:52am

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

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

KayakCoug

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

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

Parker Schnabel

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

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

Parker Schnabel

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

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

KayakCoug

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

Go back and watch the game last night

gocougs719

9:34am

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

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

gocougs719

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

KayakCoug

2:04am

I'd take Baker over Hall

Dynomite

11:00am

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

SinkingQuffa

Last year he was key because of his intangibles: 1. Toughness 2. D 3. Clutch 4.

GoneWiththeBreeze

Jan 7, 11:52pm

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

gocougs719

12:00am

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

SinkingQuffa

2:13am

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

palangi

12:03am

I think it’s not so simple

gocougs719

12:07am

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

palangi

12:21am

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

SinkingQuffa

5:17am

He needs his role defined better.

Plantagenet

11:29am

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

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

He was pretty bad last night. Looked completely lost.

ochobeeguy

10:47am

I thought he attacked the basket really well

puntersarepeople

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

SinkingQuffa

9:32am

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

palangi

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

Listen to KY's postgame comments.

gocougs719

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