Baker had an impossible task trying to guard Isaiah! Statistically Baker is our best defender.

Defensive statistics mean very little to me. Baker has a good rating in a lot of ways because he plays hard in 4th quarter when the Knicks are down 20-30pts and Baker gets to lead a fake comeback against the opponents bench.

I think other players/teams exagerrate the contact and sell the foul more.

Melo and Rose are strong, so they get hit, but it doesn't make them go in a different direction.

You can also do the eyeball test. Baker knows how to play defense. He stays in front of his man. He plays really good help defense. He recovers. He also play team basketball in offense.

I am doing the eyeball test - my eyeball test says I'd rather play Holiday with the starters.

Yep. I've always liked him. I was gonna be bummed if he quit on the team. Glad to see him respond in a positive way.
