I thought Baker was a given for the main roster at the beginning, but after the Ndour signing, I have my doubts.
Phil has practically filled most of his needs this summer, to the point that just a few days ago we wanted to get a veteran guard and a backup PF. What do we do? Sign Vujacic and Ndour.
What's next?
It depends on how you see it. If you see Sasha as a SG, then we definitely need a 3rd string PG which is important for Hornacek, because he has talked about how important is to have a good guy backing up the backup of your starting PG as insurance.
Now, if you see Sasha as a PG, we may be set in the position. But what about Center? After Noah, you have Hernangomez and Plumlee. Not much experience. But then you have O'Quinn. Do you consider him a Center? If so, is your only true backup PF Ndour? Do you need another frontcourt piece, this time with experience?
Either way, I wonder if Baker does make it, goes to Westchester or to Europe.
