Havent seen him being able to create much separation to get a shot off. Even if Baker is playing out of position, it shouldnt be that hard to get a good look.

More hopeful about our acquisitions from Europe.

Watching the game right now and have been impressed by Baker's defense on the ball causing turnovers and being disruptive. Now that he's comfortable not having to run the point, he is showing a smooth shooting stroke and a potential catch and shot player. I'm seeing some Dellavedova in him, although I think he should never run the point only in spot minutes.

Baker can get better at making simple plays at guard. He may never be a lead guard but having decent passing and playmaking ability is useful in the Triangle so I suspect he will improve to some degree over time.

Randle looks like a very good fit for how Hornacek wants to play. He's showing that already. I'm hoping he makes the roster. This would be the best group of guards we've had in I don't know when. Rose, Lee, Jennings, Baker and Randle is pretty darned good. There's a lot of ability in that group.
