2006 Sonics Report Card - Earl Watson

Mr. Baker: B+

He should start games and the 3rd quarter. He should stop throwing the ball around the gym. His turnovers aren’t really high, but the way they happen is a concern.

2006 Sonics Report Card - Ray Allen

Mr. Baker: A-

As a team captain, he had a career year on offense. He needs to defend better. Sometimes the offense
was working too hard and wasting time to get Ray the ball and not moving on to a second option for a play.

2006 Sonics Report Card - Bob Hill

Mr. Baker: B

The team he started with got his former boss fired. He forced players to play their positions and work their way into or out of the roster. He evaluated who he had and what he needed. He picked another path, to develop the kids and let the point guard run the offense. He was successful comapred to Bob Weiss, whom I gave a D. I hear that a coach needs to coach to the strength of his team, that’s true. He also has to coach to the weakness of the team. This team is young, kids need structure. Weiss put players in a position to figure out what they want to do in a play. Only a few of the players have had enough experience playing to make
that situation be successful. Weiss was a poor fit.
