Checking in on Some Former Zips


Recommended Posts

Figured I'd share for anyone else curious. 

 

Mikal Dawson is averaging 6 PPG in 23 MPG but his shooting numbers are ugly - 5-26 from the field overall and 4-19 from 3. Good kid, hope he can turn it around. 

 

Ryan Prather Jr. is playing well early for Robert Morris, starting and leading the team in scoring. He's averaging 13 PPG and shooting a red-hot 67% from deep range. 

 

Darrion Baker is averaging 7/2 in 15 MPG for SIU Edwardsville.

Nice to see Mike pick up with Marshall where he left off with the Zips!

Yeah, he's not looking good. I hate seeing it - he seems like a great young man and I think part of transferring was trying to get a fresh start and finish his career strong.

Darrion Baker is doing okay at SIUE. He hasn't started any games but is averaging

17 minutes/game

7.2 points/game (on .571 shooting  - pretty good... but 0-5 on 3's)

5 rebounds/game

 

I still think he's going to be a good one & so I'm still perplexed at his transfer. Has anyone heard any word on what may have prompted his transfer?  Amani's development in practice over last season?

I was pretty surprised he transferred. Even if Amani looked better over time, it's not like we couldn't use another big on this year's roster. It made me wonder if the coaches didn't feel Baker was as good as they originally thought.

I wonder if their "all gas no brakes" vision for this year's squad didn't include Baker like they originally thought. Could be more of a system fit issue vs skill potential.
