If you watch the way he plays and where he really excelled last year. He likes to catch it in the post and have some space to operate down there with his back to the basket. Unfortunately with Garza down there on the block much of the time he’s spent more time away from the basket and the results really aren’t very good.
While he has the athleticism that makes you think he would be able to beat people off the dribble, when he tries that he loses the ball out of his hands about 80% of the time. Right now I think his biggest asset in the half court would be his strength where he can back people down.
On the defensive end he really can’t guard either 4s or 5s and to be quite honest I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a player get out of position as often as he does.
I don’t know about starting lineups and all that but from what I’ve seen I actually think our best lineup would be:
JBo
Moss
Baer
Nunge
Cook
That gives you four legitimate 3pt threats. That gives you a legitimate low post option in Cook. Defensively that lineup has a good amount of foot speed and length. Our rebounding has sucked the last two games regardless of who was out there but I think Baer will help in that regard since he is relentless on the glass.
