  • ******* and Bilas on Baker

    Source: ESPN, Insider, ******* and Bilas

    Which guard would you want taking the last shot?

    *******: There's certainly a history with Kentucky's Aaron Harrison. He's done it time and time again, especially on the game's biggest stage. However, Harrison isn't shooting it as well as last season and I'd rather have a guy who has done it all year long. I think I'd even take another Kentucky guy, Devin Booker, over Harrison. He's a lights-out shooter. We never made it clear whether this was a big spot 3-point shot or just a last-second shot, but I'd take Gonzaga senior Kevin Pangos for a big, last-second 3-pointer.

    AP Photo/Young KwakGonzaga guard Kevin Pangos is shooting 47.2 percent from 3-point range this season.


    Bilas: For a last shot, I would go with either Marcus Paige of North Carolina or Ryan Boatright of UConn. Paige has not had the type of season I expected -- he hasn't shot the ball as well as I know he can -- but he is still the same courageous player. He's a player I would trust with a last shot. Boatright is an excellent breakdown guard who can get his own shot and make challenged shots. He is unafraid of the moment and willing to accept the consequences of missing. Not all players are.
    *******: OK, you decided to go "shot-maker" with Paige or Boatright, instead of a pure shooter like Pangos. I've got no problem with either of those guys (although Boatright frightens me with his decision-making) -- and I'll add another one who I might take over both of them: Wichita State's Ron Baker. He can create his shot and also drill 3s. He's fearless, is not as quick as Boatright but stronger than Paige and can finish around the basket a little better.
    Bilas: Baker is an excellent choice for a last shot, and you can run him off some screens to get him open. He is not the player that you expect to create his own. I'll tell you one guy I would want to create his own shot, and another guy I would put up there with Paige and Boatright to take my last shot, would be Chasson Randle of Stanford. Randle is one of the most underrated players in the country. He is a target of opposing defenses, yet consistently makes difficult, yet necessary, shots. Randle is a great scorer who is unafraid of the moment. No player has been better in the Pac-12 than Randle.

      This is from Lundardi. I am just throwing this in because it is interesting. Plus a new thread would be a waste.

                ******* is right and Jay is wrong. Baker CAN create his own shot, he can get it off anytime against anybody.

                  It's funny because I always assume Ron is #2 on this team for the last shot, and Fred is #1.

                    I would not have a problem with Darius either, he's got a pretty sweet outside shot and people may not see it coming.

                        Um, I'm pretty sure he's just trying to save face after being so wrong and douchey about WSU for so long.

                        One comment doesn't erase the years of idiocy that have funneled from his fingertips.

                        I hope your post was sarcastic.

                            MArk Turgeon was on Jim Rome today and gave a somewhat shout out to his time at Wichita State and his assistant coachs. He never mentioned Texas A&M and only spoke about Kansas when Jim Rome mentioned it.

                            Good problem to have.

                              It might be because Coach Kennedy has an accomplishment that Coach Turgeon never had.

                              The Aggies have 4 top 50 players recruited for the class of '15.

                              I know. I know. There must be some mistake.

                              I read it on the internet.
