Sometimes having no pressure on you or worrying about being yanked back to the bench can go a long way.

I don’t mean any disrespect in this post, but it’s just an observation. I think because of all the 5 stars you bring in that demand playing time, some players get relegated to a lesser role, that given the proper chance could prove themselves worthy of more PT. I know I’m in the minority on Joey Baker, but I think he’s one, & Isaiah Evans looks to be another. I’m sure y’all could name several others as I don’t keep up with your program the way you do. Maybe Blakes warranted more playing time too, but he wasn’t the celebrated 4 or 5 star so he had to take the back seat. Idk.

He graduated in three years and made the right choice . Nothing wrong with that but Baker didnt do anything at Michigan . Some players just truly do better with a change of scenery .
 
I root for Blakes but I don't see him getting PT on this team. I'd rather have a tired Sion or Caleb than Blakes. The fact that he hit a midrange shot to win a game doesn't change my opinion.
 
Baker was overrated in high school, not his fault
If he came in as a 3 star he would be viewed differently. I am happy for Blakes but so far Sion is a big upgrade. I was impressed by our D at Arizona. Baker was a deadeye shooter in scrimmages but not games.
 
Heck of a game going on between Memphis and UConn.

Edit- Memphis beata UConn by 2 in ot 99-97
