This isn't the 1970s. We don't need someone who is a post scorer to be successful.

That’s why I gave an example of a current player for another conference team. No it’s not 1970, but this killed us in a lot of games — look at MSU.

Baker liked to work out of the post but his lack of shooting and the space he ate on the court caused numerous, numerous problems that I could fully explain but I don't feel like it rn. His style of play was the main reason why this team struggled on both ends of the court.

We mostly agree, I just think he can shoot the J really well for a big guy. And I think Cook was a more consequential misfit personally.

Personality wise sure. But how can you run a ball screen offense with a center that... doesn't set good ball screens?? And has no ability to score off the roll? You can't.

Hubbard fricked us from 3 and their defense is far too physical for the lack of shooting we had this year. Even against NTU we kept trying to force it in the paint when they would send 4 defenders. But when your lineup has guys like Hannibal, Fountain, Reed who can't shoot you're kinda fricked either way.
