Veteran, leader, can be streaky shooting. Makes too many spots to fill.

The way I see it, the little weasel will be running scared, not knowing what him!

Lose no more at home against weaker opponents, Purdue lost too much and will need to replace Charlie Jones and Aidan O'cconell

I just believe NU is going to reestablish its home field advantage under Rhule and I think Purdue is going to take a step back next year under a new head coach. While Rhule is new too, NU needed him. PU didn't need or want to lose Brohm. Two programs trending in different directions in 2023.

It's at home and I think we will be understanding our new system and coaches by then.

Purdue is deeper into the first season of a new staff. And it is at home where the crowd is more of a factor.

Later in the season. The mini game is #1 and we'll have some kinks to work out. BUT I think we win both. With good coaching we'll finally put Mini in our rear view mirror.

Wins games at the foul line. Period

Curt Rambis and Phil Jackson weren't MVP's. Jok is a consistent player and a real drawing card for the opposition while on the floor. Not a spark plug.

I love baers energy and enjoy watching him play but Jok is a premier scorer and you just can't top that in a player. You can get find guys who play will passion and spark the team. But great scores can't just be mustard up.

This shouldnt even be a poll. Baer is great but without Jok (yes, I know he was out 3 games against bad teams) there is no way Iowa has 15 wins.

He is much more vital to the future of the team only being a sophomore and Jok a senior.

It's not even just the games. With this young team he brings the intensity to practice every game that makes everyone around him have to step up their level of play. It'd be easier with this group to replace Joks scoring then Baers intangibles to me. Scoring hasn't been the issue for this team

He has the heart of a champion and motivates all the players around him to be better. You can't coach the passion that Baer brings.
