Baker's versatility as a combo guard is great fit for Triangle.

He should grow a stache and we could nickname him Ron "the Anchorman" Baker

Sheeesh. What a good game he had.

Seems like it comes easily to him, too . . .

Players don't like the Triangle (?)

You can't find players to play in the Triangle(?)

The Triangle won't work in today's NBA (?)

Sorry everyone . . . but this just KILLS me.

All of this supposed sex appeal of Rose and Jennings because they have
quickness and can "break down" the defense by going to the basket.

SCREW that (!)

15 guys playing like Noah and Vujacic and Baker is what I want to see (!)

so, not for nothing, but I think the long term in-season plan is for Rose to play just like Baker but with the added athleticism etc. That's the coach's job.

Nice in theory -- sure.

But where's the evidence that Rose can ever do that (?)

Does he shoot or defend or have the versatility (PG/G) that Baker is showing (?)

Does he show up for preseason practices and games (?)

My opinion:

The comments about Baker on Poasting and Toasting are pretty damned funny. Like Chuck Norris.

My opinion:

It's been a few years since Rose has been even able to play so I don't know why you would forgo a little bit of a looksie. If you want to come to a conclusion before a game has even been played, have at it.

that's the coach's job? what if the player in question is not particularly coachable?

rose doesn't have the bbiq to do what baker does, nor the jump shot to do what baker does, nor the court vision to do what baker does. the game clearly is slowing down for baker, while it will never slow down for rose.

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

The way Rose will be used is not like a Paxton, Armstrong, Kerr or Fisher. This offense is much more of a fit for what Rose does well.

You're gonna have to prove your point in this case! Why is Hornacek's Offense not a better fit for Rose than a Pure Triangle?
