There is a difference between being passive and just getting blown by.

It isn't a lack of effort. Baker just doesn't have the athletic ability to guard some of the guys he is being asked to guard.

I'm almost ready to......bench Egor? He has just been so bad

Tough to bench a guy who leads the B12 in assists and has the highest ceiling on the team

And our offense doesn't score when he's not in the game

I would play him more.

I'd switch Baker & Saunders. We need another playmaker & shooter

Saunders leads the team in scoring and the defensive look of Demin, Saunders, Mag is dynamic in length on perimeter D

I don't agree with any of this. Richie should play the max minutes possible.

One of the worst takes I've seen on this board. Saunders is our leading scorer. He scores more per min. than Baker.

He's the best player on offense and defense. Should play all but like 5 minutes.

Richie's not a ball-handler, though. Nor as good of a play-maker as Baker.

Baker was badly exposed on defense last night

He needs to do better, no doubt. Hall was clearly better defending up top.

He & Richie both struggle mightily out there against some matchups.

When TT went ISO on Baker, it was ugly.

I'm well aware of that. It got Richie reassigned defensively, too.

Here are the top 5-man lineups that have played at least 15 possessions together

I don't know what this tells us, but the #1 lineup there would get

If you include the lesser-used lineups, the lineup with Demin + Hall is #6.
