Ron Baker was a Knick, and now is a Wizard!

I doubt that very many people would not give Melo the Superstar title. Many Superstars didn't win NBA titles, but I'd put Melo on the tier below Jordan, Pippen, Bird, Magic, The Center from the Spurs that I forgot his name, etc. I'm sure I'm leaving a few Superstars off of the list.

If I'm building an NBA franchise around a player, these listed above are who I'd prefer to build around.

that would be tim duncan aka the ultimate warrior.

Well, as a long time NBA fan, I'll just say...never mind. (sigh)

It's definitely not worth the trouble.

Ron now only 38,382 points away from Kareem.

Ron looked good. He may find more minutes coming his way.... they could use his effort, for sure.

Agreed. Showing this kind of effort will help him maintain a long career as a role player for years to come...injury not withstanding. Everyone can use a bench player like him.

one aspect of his game that may flourish in the pro ranks is his passing. how many times at wichita state did he throw a sweet no-look pass that bounced off the hands of his teammate? quite a bit, i seem to recall. he would get frustrated about that now and again. he has a flair for the sweet dime.

So, if Tyler Johnson (who?) can get a $50 million deal...

...what might Baker be able to hope for in a few years if the economics work to his advantage the way they did for Johnson?

The Knicks say that Ron Baker (sprained ankle) is questionable for Saturday's home opener. Sasha Vujacic is the third point guard at the moment, with Baker behind him.

Ron not listed on the stat sheet. Assuming he did sit out the game with a sprained ankle.

Got a news feed that he was inactive for this game.

Watching the game last night and the analyst said, "3 for baker. He's the one knick out here playing as hard as he can."

What is your evaluation of Baker's play?

[boltforge]

Tied for the team best +/- at -2 in 13 minutes.

Second best. Kuzminskas has a +4. Baker did have the best +/- of the guards.
