Doghouse or something? He seemed to be one of only bright spots early on but he hasn’t really been seeing significant time. Noticed it today but also in last sequence against Ga the other when Dean got destroyed for rebound and put back.

He has been rotating regularly with Dean, depending on the lineup around them and how each is playing.

Dean finishes better on the roll, and is more athletic than baker.

Two quick fouls may have come tonight.

Thank you. Was wondering, that makes sense.

Looks good walking out the locker room. Gives you absolutely nothing at all on the floor.

They will rain down threes on us if he is defending someone. Not a game for an Old school center

Foul trouble today, but yea he’s been losing minutes to Dean lately anyway

Don’t think he moves super well on defense

He's a 7-footer but he does not rebound and he does not defend. I was yelling at the screen multiple times while he let's buy drive by him consistently while not contesting the ball at the rim and seems almost feeble in going after rebounds.

IMHO to overcome that you have to be a tremendous asset offensively. He does not meet that standard.

Dean at least puts in some concerted effort in defending and boarding but he's still not all that good at those things either.

At this point I'm all for Reed and Fountain down low, they don't board or defend all that well either but they do it a hair better and will give us a bit more defensive versatility and scoring upside.
