Cook Return

It's not a coincidence that Iowa's defense has improved with Wagner in the starting lineup. Fran often sends the defensive sets in through Ahmad. Smart player that does a lot of the little things. Still needs to become more of an offensive threat, though. He showed some expanded skills on that end in the PTL, but well, it's the PTL.

Just glad I don't have to make these decisions but I could easily find a way to spend the two mill a year.

Baer is the quintessential 6th man...it is his destiny.

He plays in high energy short bursts.

He seems to tire, quickly, and needs a rest...reminds me of a player on a line of a hockey team...burst and rest. It is a positive in that he plays full throttle.

He is a thinker who can watch the game and play accordingly when he is called upon.

He is an even more difficult player to defend when the opposing coach isn't sure when he will come in or which position he might take.

He is very good and even better than he looks at first glance...he is a sixth man but he needs to play a ton of minutes...need your best people on the floor a lot.
