On paper the 2020-2021 Baylor basketball team seems to have it all. The Bears have fantastic guard play, superb coaching, and a deep bench. This biggest question coming into the season on every fans mind was if the Baylor frontcourt could match the quality of play from years past. Now, thirteen games into the season, has the question been answered?
Of course, there was good reason for Baylor fans to be concerned. Last season Freddie Gillespie performed well enough to earn All Big XII honors and became a fan favorite. He averaged just under 10 ppg and 9 rebounds, and had his story told throughout telecasts week by week.
