How much longer are we going to have to watch Baker start? It should be AJ Brown I can’t believe he didn’t play more minutes in the first half against Florida. Let’s face it…Baker isn’t doing anything to keep his spot in the starting five.
I agree. I don't see why AJB isn't starting.
AJB is now starting to get "starters" minutes, but Boals doesn't trust anyone with the Sears, BVP, JC 36+ workload.

His 25 minutes was second to Hunter's 26.

This small ball line-up is atrocious.

Time to shift everyone down and put AJB as a small 3.

Boals has been reading my messages again.

AJ starting today.

Baker riding the pine pony.
Someone is reading BA or common sense prevailed. Should have happened four games ago. Also, looks like Hadaway is out of rotation. Bench needed to be shortened.
At the same time Baker put up good numbers today showing he should be getting minutes.
Yes…as long as those minutes are off the bench. I said it a few weeks ago….maybe he can turn into Vinnie “Microwave” Johnson off the bench. I would be more than happy if Baker can average 8 points per game moving forward off the bench. The AJ Brown era is officially underway.

He’s a career double-digit scorer. He’ll put up points when he plays, might just be best served as a scoring spark off the bench. I’m still happy we have him; will gladly take 8-12 points in 15-20 mins.
