For who?? He is what we got

To slow for back door cuts.

Guess there were 4 other Bakers on the floor then.

He is not getting it done. To slow for back door cuts. Embarrassing

Baker has had good moments for us and yes he gets a lot of criticism here and that can sometimes take ugly turns and that's unfortunate.

But he really compromises us defensively and compounds that by not being able to rebound near to the level of someone his size and playing the position that he does. And if you isolate on him defensively, you can really see how significant his issues are there, it was glaring last night.

The significance of it is that he almost has to score 20 points and be very efficient offensively to justify his minutes. He's done that a few times this year, but was not even close to that last night.

This is who Will Baker is!! IF he wants to play hard he is a very good player for LSU. When he checks out, he really checks out and does not try to do anything. He has talent, but no excuse a man his size not banging under basket. You know after the first 5-10 mins in the game what your getting from him. Not sure if you notice, but MMcman knows this as well and has tried to run the offense through him MANY of the last games.
Baker makes his shots early he plays harder, misses shots dude disappears in all aspects of the game. MMcman is well aware of this.

He’s a goofy stiff with swiffer dusters for hands. But he does bring value to the offensive side when he’s making shots.
