TBGBG, in all seriousness, what is Baker's best position--center, power forward, small forward, or shooting guard?

He should see the majority of his minutes at the 4.

With Ace at the 5, correct?

I think he thinks he should be a 2. But he's stuck in a 4s body.

Within McKay's structure, he'll post-up, and wreck havoc in the middle. A man who weighs nearly 300lbs would be a tremendous liability anywhere else. To expect him to be able to play the 2 or 3 would be a violation of certain known laws of physics.

Keep in mind, football speed doesn't translate in exactly the same way on the court. Even the most atheletic 300lbers would be extremely slow on the court, unless they were playing in the lost post, of course. He could be a 4 within certain systems, but nothing more than situational within McKay's style of play.

With his toughness and size, he could really be an intiminating and disruptive prescence in the underneath.

It depends who we are playing, but i think he is best served at the 3... he can play the 4 and i would rather see him there as long as they are playing him on the outside
