The end of this season has been great for player development IMO.

I hope Baker comes back as well. The Spurs and Rockets would be two teams where Baker would be a good fit IMO. Baker would have to pick up his shooting with the Rockets, but I'm guessing D'Antoni could make good use of him as a backup PG. I think Pops would like that Baker's a gritty two way player with good decision making skills.

I do think he'll fix his shooting, which means we will have a player who at the very least will be a solid backup PG.
Im liking the bank shot off the high glass he's been making lately, and Baker is shooting in the flow of the offense, as opposed to most of the season where he would only shoot because time was running out.
Baker is finally playing instinctively and with confidence. This is more like he looked in College. He's always been a better offensive player than he had shown earlier.
I could be wrong, but I believe he was drafted initially for his 3pt shooting, the PG skills are bonus. Now he is starting to gradually show that 3.
Showed hints of what he could do as a distributor in SL...have to admit that I was surprised at this aspect of his game. Even when it seems like he's dribbling too much, he ALWAYS has his head up and is looking for a teammate.
You're right, I kept waiting for the 3pt shooting, lol. But he was running the point efficiently, even back then.
Why is Lee still in this Fl*&^$ game!!!
If we win this, we're likely falling all the way down to 9th (assuming we win vs the Sixers)

I get the feeling we're going to do well in this draft, ping pong balls aside.

hopefully but falling down multiple spots in the final 2 games isnt ideal
LOOK AT THAT BALL N PLAYER MOVEMENT! Followed by a Baker steal and DUNK!

He was kinda bad running the point in summer league. It wasn't until Randle came in that the offense hummed. But he has picked it up since then. He's a smart player. He's really got develop his mid-range game and long-range consistency. Look forward to seeing him next year. Wow! Didn't know he had those hops.
just think if Phil had not wasted everyone's time with Noah & Rose - and we had kept Lopez and everyone else.
