Baker is not releasing his Js on the way up...he's really lost his form.

As much as I love him, he has to shoot at least high 30's from the 3...not acceptable.

Agree but he's an above average shooter. He's just not showing it right now.

KP isn't getting to the same spots he was last game. He's not doing as much of the little curl plays that got him those nice catch and shoot looks. Also trying to bang isn't necessary, He was doing much batter just going with the nice rhythm turnaround jumpers. In time he's gonna have to settle into go to moves and perfect his footwork.

Randle did some nice things. I'd like to see him be a bit more aggressive and look for his shot just a touch more.

Willy had some really strong post moves. I'm very high on this kid. He just needs to keep going the way he's going and learning.

Baker screwed on that foul call. 999 times out of 1000 in the NBA that's continuation.

2nd time's a charm.

I cant wait for tomorrow's "trade Porzingis" threads. Briggs will create a thread about him not being a starting caliber player.

One thing I didn't realize before he started playing was Baker's strength. His strength on defense keeping his man in front of him and his strength when going to the basket. We already knew about the high basketball IQ. Once his jumper starts falling consistently, he is definitely a good bench rotation player.

If he doesn't find a more consistent stroke I don't know if you can justify him on an NBA roster, even as a backup.
