Go back and read CB the day after Cougar Tip-Off game
CB was pretty dismissive about Harding and Baxter—especially Baxter. The reviews here were pretty harsh.

Not starting Baxter to begin the season is simply a mistake you can't make as a

How about the thought he wasn't ready. Throwing him in too early

I get that if he was the qb or point guard he is not. He just needed to come in

Some of the games with DNP or really low minutes he was injured

So wait, you think the best way to get someone confidence is to play them

Could not agree more. This was obvious from day 1. I realize Baxter may have

I was too harsh on Baxter early on. In my defense though, he missed some lay ups

And then if he would have played him early and he tanked, the same guys would

Baxter has been better from game 1 than Worthington
kimdaddy35
2/11/19 4:13pm
Not even close. Even in the last game subbing Worthington for Baxter was a solid

One data point out of the whole season

True, but to say Baxter has clearly been better than Worthington the whole time

I disagree. He wasn't ready.
JuicyJam
2/11/19 1:54pm
He played well in games 1 thru 6. What wasn't he ready for?
kimdaddy35
2/11/19 4:20pm
Idk man. I'd rewatch those games at the beginning you thought he did well on.
JuicyJam
2/11/19 4:45pm
Why do you think it is crazy that I have an opinion of getting the most
kimdaddy35
2/11/19 4:48pm
Your opinion is just extreme.

Baxter himself said he wasn't ready earlier.

So in other words, You have no idea how the game of basketball is played.

It wasn't meant as a slight to you, just laughing at the way you called him out.

So many factors fans know nothing about. Not to mention his mission legs.

How many early practices have you watched?

I've been critical of Rose, but this is a silly, silly take.

Look at his PT: 1st 5 games avg 14 min/game. 10 of next 13 avg < 6 min/game,
Hinta

Or, instead of breaking out, he might have just broken down.
Lance71
2/11/19 4:07pm
Or maybe he would have been hit by a meteor
Hinta
2/11/19 4:14pm
Odds are just as good to get hit with a meteor whether he was playing or not.

Some players improve by practicing. Or so I've heard. I'm no expert.

LOL, Baxter was absolutely horrible in the early season. He's come a long way.
ArchbishopMitty
2/11/19 5:35pm
My take: He should have started Baxter sooner, but he was right to not start him
