Today was the Baker LSU thought/hoped they were getting when the signed him. A big who could stretch the floor and have a good post play inside. Basically a KJ Williams replacement. He’s a below average defender and worse rebounder. So you HAD to have his offense to justify playing him big minutes. Today you got it and the dominance of the game from start to finish reflected it

He came in billed as a good 3-point shooter for a big man. We had not seen much sign of that until very recently.

And he limited the forced back down dribble shite he's been doing all year today and played more the role he can succeed in doing today.

Yeah, you'd like to see a man his size rebound more and defend the rim better but at this point it's obvious at this point that's just never going to be something he will provide.

He even had a nifty assist late which is something that is always going to be there for him, but he never really has taken advantage of that, and the way teams defend him, he has to look for that more.
