I am not watching the game until tonight but it seemed like from the practice footage that was where they are playing him.
I remember seeing that also. Not sure that it is the best way to use him, but what do I know.
Baker is back in and playing off ball with Tokoto up top.
Plumlee missed jumper but runs down court for blocked shot. HUSTLE! SPEED!
Ellenson for Detroit with a 3. He looks like a nice talent.
Baker doesn't look natural as a PG.
Plumlee with another face up jumper. Missed some nice jump hooks. He looks REALLY GOOD!

Since he came back in he's been playing OFF the ball. Earlier he looked fine as lead guard.

He's a SG in a PG body

They have him doing both. I was focused in on him and he was fine as lead guard. Came back in and was cutting and looking for the jumper as the SG. He's got solid versatility.

He needs to stop rushing shots. It is just probably nerves because he was wide open on 1 and still rushed it.
Tokoto has NBA athletic ability. If his jumper was better...
Marvelle Harris looks quick and strong.

Yeah he looked like Sasha with that rushed shot. LOL. Baker should do better as he calms down.

Plumlee for sure IMO! Kuzmic is not playing with enough energy. Labeyrie has energy but missing shots.
Tokoto looks like a good defender and energy guy. Marvelle Harris has a strong body and looks quick and athletic. Hit a nice jumper.

Yeah, he's thinking too much.
Keep your eyes on JJ Avila. He is quick and highly skilled. They missed him in prime scoring position several times. I like him a LOT. He's a bit overexcited but you can tell he has NBA Skill.

Thanks.. I'm finally on. I don't have a TV but I found the stream online.
Good to hear about plummee......looks like we have enough security at center if and when Noah sits. Was hoping Baker could be that backup guard at either position. This allows phil more flexibility to add the best fit and use some of these summer league guys on the bench.
KP interview was nice. He's so lovable.
I forgot Dajuan Summers. He looks ready.
