Baldwin and Walker were in the same all-star camp, and Baldwin made the team, while Walker didn't. You don't win a game with 1 player - but this guy is special and may provide a challenge. Supposedly, 30 NBA scouts will be at CEC.
 
It's interesting to watch the whole Baldwin thing play out. Junior could've gone anywhere, but signed with his Dad to basically try to save his job and yet they are 2-6. They're lucky they play in an absolutely horrific conference.

They are basically 2.5 players deep and have only have 3 guys in their rotation over 6'7. We should win by double digits. Again. That said, I look forward to sitting there watching our defense over rotate leaving Baldwin wide open all night, Parquet forgetting he's a defensive stopper and letting Gholston do whatever he wants, our guards clanking 3s AND FTs, DaSilva getting continually abused by some slow stiff, the Pac12 refs jobbing us at home, and some total Rando going off for quadruple his career high in points and rebounds. Yay!

Milwaukee botched the whole process, Junior committed so late in the cycle, they failed to use his influence as a consensus top 10 player to improve the rest of their class.

Nonetheless, he’s damn good, and will most likely be a problem tonight.
 
Any word on Ruffin? He's been going through warmups with the team. Would be nice to get him in to some of these games before conference play starts. We need someone that can consistently knock down a shot. Hoping he can be that guy.

Why are you so sure he just didn't want to play for his dad? You know, like honor him. There are kids who love thier fathers that much.
 
Cannot watch the game
According to the ESPN Gamecenter it looks like nobody knows how to shoot a basketball???

It started really rough. LOB got them going, KJ started to take control a bit, and then Evan made some noise. Lovering also brought a lot of energy tonight. The bench was a big spark.
 
This Milwaukee team seems more talented than its record. Like they haven't figured out their chemistry. I've decided they're the Buffs of the Horizon League.

Earlier in the game they said that their really good guy was out and it hurt them. Perhaps that's why they are where they are with their record. But I agree with you it looks like they have some serious players on this team. Could it be their coach?
 
The guys we have who are not afraid to take the shot are absolutely the guys that shouldn’t right now. So frustrating.
